Music and Message as One

RATM's fundamental principle is that their aggressive, confrontational music is the perfect vehicle for their equally aggressive and confrontational political message. They are militant leftists, and their lyrics are a direct attack on systems of power, including:

• Capitalism & Corporate Greed: They view capitalism as a system of oppression. Songs like "Take the Power Back" and "Sleep Now in the Fire" target economic inequality.

• Government Oppression & Police Brutality: Tracks like "Killing in the Name" (a rallying cry against institutional racism and blind obedience) and "People of the Sun" are explicit condemnations.

• Political Prisoners & Injustice: They frequently highlighted cases like that of Mumia Abu-Jamal ("Voice of the Voiceless") and Leonard Peltier.

• Media Manipulation: "Bullet in the Head" criticizes how the media pacifies the public.

• U.S. Imperialism: Their entire body of work is critical of American foreign policy, but songs like "Vietnow" and "Testify" are prime examples.
