I first heard this on a free tape that came with with melody maker in 1994 (bloody hell, 1994 was THIRTY years ago 😖), I was 12 years old and had not long got into rock music, this track blew me away and the amount of times I played this song is unbelievable. The tape? Still got it!
YEAH!! I'm sitting in my room in your prison doin' time Bars on my windows 'cause you got so good at crime You're standing on the corner with nothing in your head Shirt on your back and a gun in your pants Thinking you're the man but you're only a stand-in Standing in line to be the next bad guy I see what you do when you use what you got But what do you do when you do what you want You're so civilized, you get brutalized You're so civilized, man I see you get cut down Getting your mind off some guy's record He makes his money off fools like you Singing about killing like it ain't no thing but You do the time when you live it for real Paying his way from your death row cell You're the last one to see, you got sold out I hear you say you hate pigs so much then Why the hell do you act like one Because you're civilized, you get brutalized You're so civilized, man I see you get cut down You're so civilized, you get brutalized Yeah yeah yeah So civilized, man I watch you get cut down I wonder what you're like without the gun I'd like to see when you're not hiding behind the gun How you would live your life without the gun 'Cause I know how I lived mine Because you got one, yeah, 'cause that's what it is You hide behind your gun You take life, you're just another pig to me You think you're different but you're just another pig Yeah, a pig, yeah You gotta have a gun then you're just another pig to me You think you're different but you're just another pig You gotta have a gun, you're a pig to me, just a pig to me You gotta have a gun, you're just another pig to me You got a gun, you're just another pig You're so civilized, you get brutalized You're so civilized A gun in your hand makes a fool out of you, oh yeah A gun in your hand makes a target out of me, oh no Freedom, you ain't no freedom, you want your freedom Your freedom is killing you man, freedom You can't handle your freedom, hey And now you're dying for it Because you're civilized, you get brutalized You're so civilized, man I watch you get cut down You're so civilized, you get brutalized Oh Man I watch you get yourself cut down
It’s not the music you listen to, but your own personal sense of right and wrong. Music and video games are a strawman effigy for the real triggers in those kids’ lives. I doubt every emo looking school shooter in the last ten years was blasting gangster rap.
@@Bigyawner Because most commercial and even slightly underground 'rap' is corrosive fantasy bullshit 'written' and vomited mostly by plastic gangsters.
I had Eminem recommendations after watching this. Hilariously cute. They micro-fag is hilarious to real grown ups who've actually 'lived'. *Don't believe the hype* is especially pertinent to 'Marsh-hole' and his soft ilk. He grew up in the west... the little flange had it easy.

Love this song.
Freedom? You can't handle freedom!

Blues Jam, The End of Silence, got me hooked. "Believe me when I tell you, life will not break your heart, it will crush it."
Saw Rollins band with Helmet, outstanding!!
But seeing Henry do spoken word 2 times was even better
cool song, Rollins Against the Machine (as ever)
I fucking miss the 90's. I'm probably an conservative 40 year old male but music just hasn't been the same since then.
I will turn 57 soon and I agree.
lol old people
@@RushianRichard old
@@pyramis47 Absolutely...and proud of it. 90's f*cking rule!🤘😁
Badass groove!
I wonder if he's aware of drill music. Song is more relevant today than ever.
It's relevant to drill music as music like this scorns laughable shit like 'drill music'.
The only 'drill music' is via a Milwaukee Fuel hammer drill.
huh... Rollins and the band sound great on this one
Body count and Rollins band paved the way for bands like slipknot and korn. Fuckin epic!
Agreed though the later bands fucked it up.
Livid Festival 95. Brisbane.
The start of my following.
This song is another deal. Fucking love it!
YEAH!!
I'm sitting in my room in your prison doin' time
Bars on my windows 'cause you got so good at crime
You're standing on the corner with nothing in your head
Shirt on your back and a gun in your pants
Thinking you're the man but you're only a stand-in
Standing in line to be the next bad guy
I see what you do when you use what you got
But what do you do when you do what you want
You're so civilized, you get brutalized
You're so civilized, man I see you get cut down
Getting your mind off some guy's record
He makes his money off fools like you
Singing about killing like it ain't no thing but
You do the time when you live it for real
Paying his way from your death row cell
You're the last one to see, you got sold out
I hear you say you hate pigs so much then
Why the hell do you act like one
Because you're civilized, you get brutalized
You're so civilized, man I see you get cut down
You're so civilized, you get brutalized
Yeah yeah yeah
So civilized, man I watch you get cut down
I wonder what you're like without the gun
I'd like to see when you're not hiding behind the gun
How you would live your life without the gun
'Cause I know how I lived mine
Because you got one, yeah, 'cause that's what it is
You hide behind your gun
You take life, you're just another pig to me
You think you're different but you're just another pig
Yeah, a pig, yeah
You gotta have a gun then you're just another pig to me
You think you're different but you're just another pig
You gotta have a gun, you're a pig to me, just a pig to me
You gotta have a gun, you're just another pig to me
You got a gun, you're just another pig
You're so civilized, you get brutalized
You're so civilized
A gun in your hand makes a fool out of you, oh yeah
A gun in your hand makes a target out of me, oh no
Freedom, you ain't no freedom, you want your freedom
Your freedom is killing you man, freedom
You can't handle your freedom, hey
And now you're dying for it
Because you're civilized, you get brutalized
You're so civilized, man I watch you get cut down
You're so civilized, you get brutalized
Oh Man I watch you get yourself cut down
Perfect
Anyone remember "Dennis Miller Live" when they played this? :)
Germany 2024 anyone?
This shit it is my shit
Kids listening to rap these days are going down the wrong road, all because they want to look cool. Such a shame -_-

What does rap have to do with this? There's good and bad in every genre.
@@TheVampirePredator
Incorrect on so many levels.
And not every mass shooter was a white emo kid either.
