    "comment": "Released in 1992, \"'Killing in the Name' was written six months after the Rodney King beating and the ensuing riots in Los Angeles. Zack De La Rocha never sounded as angry as he does here as he slowly builds on the repeating line, 'Some of those that work forces / Are the same that burn crosses.'\n\n\"Here, forces refer to the police, military, or other groups who are meant to protect but, in certain cases, have abused their power... As the protest climaxes and the instrumental becomes chaotic, the outro screams perpetually against the power structures of today: 'Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!'\"\n\nRead more from this piece cataloguing protest songs through history: https://tinyurl.com/6p576way",
