Take the Power Back

This is about forced ideals in the US - how the American government wants their citizens to conform to the "ideal" American dream. If you don't agree with their opinions, you could be considered a terrorist.

At some live shows, lead singer Zack De La Rocha would intro this by saying, "The classroom is the last place to find the truth."

This song makes a reference to the Weathermen, a radical militant organization active during the 1970s, whose stated goal was the violent overthrow of the United States government.
