以下是《Killing in the Name》的歌詞:
Yo, where I'm from, the only code they knew,
Was the only code they broke was the one you wrote.
Standing in the face of your country?s pride?
Riding for my family and for your wife.
Innocent civilians you know it's a game.
This coulda been prevented but that didn't save my name.
Your taxes to destroy that don't seem right,
Your lies, your torture, your spying, that's not right.
So we'll fight back with every bit of strength we have.
In the name of the law, in the name of the Lord.
Chorus:
Killing in the name of freedom, freedom.
Killing in the name of justice, justice.
You don't know pain until you've been a slave.
So we fight back, in the name of the law.
I said what I said, and I meant every word.
In the right cause, with a righteous sword.
In a land of the free, but not to me.
So they left me here to bleed in the street.
It's war against a few until we realize
This fight for freedom was made for me and you.
And when we rise up we will rise free, yeah!
In the name of the law, in the name of the Lord.
Chorus:
Killing in the name of freedom, freedom.
Killing in the name of justice, justice.
You don't know pain until you've been a slave.
So we fight back, in the name of the law.
Some call me a terrorist, I say fuck no!
This war for freedom I will always show no mercy!
For years they tried to make us suffer! They lie!
But when we rise up and take back what is mine.
In the name of freedom, in the name of what's right?
So here I stand until the last shot is dry.
And all they said was falling down came true!
We fight back and rise up just like Moses.
Chorus:
Killing in the name of freedom, freedom.
Killing in the name of justice, justice.
You don't know pain until you've been a slave.
So we fight back, in the name of the law.
