Killing In The Name Lyrics

[Hook]
Killing in the name of...

[Verse 1]
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

[Hook]
Ugh!
Killing in the name of...
Killing in the name of...

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
But now you do what they told ya!!
Well now you do what they told ya!!
[Chorus]
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died, by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died, by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

[Verse 1]
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

[Hook ]
Ugh!
Killing in the name of...
Killing in the name of...

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control) And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control) And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control) And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control) And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control) And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control) And now you do what they told ya
(NOW YOU'RE UNDER CONTROL!)
AND NOW YOU DO WHAT THEY TOLD YA!
[Chorus x2]
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died, by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Come on!

[Guitar Solo]

Ugh!

Yeah!

Come on!

Ugh!

[Outro]
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me (x16)
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
MOTHER-FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!
UGH!!
