Rage Against The Machine - Bullet In the Head (Official HD Video) [05:11 | Rap, Rock, Rap Metal, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Alternative Metal, Rap-Rock, USA, Political]
Bullet in the Head is a song by American hardcore band Rage Against the Machine, released as the second single from their 1992 eponymous debut album. A fan favorite and one of the album’s heaviest tracks, “Bullet in the Head” refers to the band’s belief that the government uses media to control the population, drawing comparisons between typical residences and Alcatraz. The track was transferred intact from the band’s demo, also titled Rage Against the Machine.

As a fun aside regarding the meaning of the song, a ‘bullet in the head’ is in reference to the final sentence in the book “1984”
“He loved Big Brother.” is the final sentence of 1984.
It’s been a long time.
Lessee here I’ll pull it up.
The voice from the telescreen was still pouring forth its tale of prisoners and booty and slaughter, but the shouting outside had died down a little. The waiters were turning back to their work. One of them approached with the gin bottle. Winston, sitting in a blissful dream, paid no attention as his glass was filled up. He was not running or cheering any longer. He was back in the Ministry of Love, with everything forgiven, his soul white as snow. He was in the public dock, confessing everything, implicating everybody. He was walking down the white-tiled corridor, with the feeling of walking in sunlight, and an armed guard at his back. The longhoped-for bullet was entering his brain.
He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.
K 9th from the end lol
