WASHINGTON, D.C. — American rock band Rage Against the Machine, famous for songs with anti-authoritarian themes, proudly announced they would headline this year’s CIA fundraiser on November 22, the band’s publicist confirmed Monday.
“We’ve all got to do our part to save democracy by policing the world through the deep state,” said guitarist Tom Morello.
One of Rage’s most popular songs, “Killing In The Name,” was thought to be inspired by the beating of Rodney King Jr. and a rebellion against what they perceived as a police state emboldened by capitalism and racism. But band member Zack de la Rocha clarified the lyrics were sarcastic. “Look, I trust the experts. They obviously know how to run things, except for those four years when Donald Trump was president,” Rocha said. “Only Kamala Harris and the deep state machine can save America now.”
“We have to join the machine to fight the machine. Or something.”
CIA Director William J. Burns expressed his enthusiasm at seeing Rage Against the Machine perform later this month. “Of all the controlled opposition the CIA manages, Rage is by far my favorite. They’re all former test subjects in MKUltra. But instead of brainwashing them to assassinate political opponents, we brainwashed them to rock,” he said.
At publishing time, Rage Against the Machine confirmed the lyric “They say jump, you say how high” in their hit song “Bullet In The Head” is, unlike many of their lyrics, not sarcastic. It’s a demand.
