- Testify LyricsUggh!
the movie, ran through me
the glamour, subdue me
the tabloid, untie me
i'm empty, please fill me
mister anchor, assure me
that Baghdad, is burning
your voice it is so soothing
that cunning mantra of killing
i need you, my witness
to dress this up so bloodless
to numb me, and purge me now
of thoughts of blaming you
yes the car is, our wheelchair
my witness, you're coughing
oily silence mocks the legless
ones who travel now in coffins
while on the corner
the jury's sleepless
we found your weakness
and it's right outside the door
now testify
testify (4 times)
with presision, you feed me
my witness, i'm hungry
your temple, it calms me
so i can carry on
yes my slaving, sweating, the skin right off my bones
on a bed of fire
im chokin', on the smoke that fills my home
the wreckin' ball is rushing
witness, you;re blushing
the pipeline, is gushing
while here we lie in tombs
while on the corner
the jurys sleepless
we found your weakness
and it's right outside the door
now testify
testify (4 times)
mass graves for the pump, and the price is set
and the price is set (4 times)
testify (repeat until end)
the movie, ran through me
the glamour, subdue me
the tabloid, untie me
i'm empty, please fill me
mister anchor, assure me
that Baghdad, is burning
your voice it is so soothing
that cunning mantra of killing
i need you, my witness
to dress this up so bloodless
to numb me, and purge me now
of thoughts of blaming you
yes the car is, our wheelchair
my witness, you're coughing
oily silence mocks the legless
ones who travel now in coffins
while on the corner
the jury's sleepless
we found your weakness
and it's right outside the door
now testify
testify (4 times)
my witness, i'm hungry
your temple, it calms me
so i can carry on
yes my slaving, sweating, the skin right off my bones
on a bed of fire
im chokin', on the smoke that fills my home
the wreckin' ball is rushing
witness, you;re blushing
the pipeline, is gushing
while here we lie in tombs
while on the corner
the jurys sleepless
we found your weakness
and it's right outside the door
now testify
testify (4 times)
mass graves for the pump, and the price is set
and the price is set (4 times)
testify (repeat until end)

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Rage Against The Machine's 'Testify' not only mirrors the public's perception of media and governments but also reveals the hidden agenda behind their alliance in the killing of innocent people during wars. The words of the song resemble a deaf and dumb society fed by the falsehoods of propaganda, therefore, inciting the audience to challenge power and unearth the buried truths that lie beyond the abstract lies. The lyrics of Testify are the strongest in their emphasis on social commentary, anger, angst, despair and reflection. At the same time, the song draws attention to war and violence as well as non-violence and emptiness, truth and accountability as well as silence. The lyrics complain of the mature audience dealing with themes such as violence and war that are not fit for children under 13. The images of blood, death, and the aftermath of warfare indicate a depth of intensity that calls for parents' guidance.
