“Bullet in the Head” was a single released by American political rapcore band Rage Against the Machine from their eponymous debut album in 1992. A fan favourite 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.

Along with one of the band’s most well known and embraced breakdown riffs, the song features many innovative guitar techniques executed by Tom Morello.

This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika

Fools follow rules when the set commands ya

One of those songs where you wish you were in a club, and not sitting at work listening to music on headphones.
