who wrote the lyrics for rage against the machine
Rage Against the Machine Inspired from early heavy metal instrumentation, hip hop acts such as Afrika Bambaataa,[19] Public Enemy, and the Beastie Boys, punk rock such as the Sex Pistols[100] and Fugazi[101], and Dutch crossover band Urban Dance Squad.[102], Rage Against the Machine has been noted for its "fiercely polemical music, which brewed sloganeering leftist rants against corporate America, cultural imperialism, and government oppression into a Molotov cocktail of punk rock, hip-hop, and thrash."[19] Zack de la Rocha's lyrics and choruses are defined by a heavy use of sloganeering and repetition on songs like "Bulls on Parade", "Guerrilla Radio", "Testify", and "Down Rodeo". Guitarist Tom Morello, on the other hand, was considered the guitar player but also the DJ in Rage.[103]
