"Killing In The Name"

Killing in the name of!
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

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

This song is from rage against the machine and is their first song. I've chosen this song because although it says the same sentence like 10 times in the same verse, it's a very revolutionary song, because it's against the racism and discrimination from people who is powerful like the police and politicians. In other words is an anti-abuse of autorithy.
When they say Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses I think they want  to say that all the people who works for the state, like lawyers, judges, policemen, etc. is abusing from the citizens because of their autorithy. When they say And now you do what they told ya I think they are saying that since the citizens are afraid from the autorithy, they would to anything said by someone "powerful".

"War" 

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.

That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
Dis a war.

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war - war.

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in Angola,
In Mozambique,
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
Utterly destroyed -
Well, everywhere is war -
Me say war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War - war -
Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The African continent
Will not know peace,
We Africans will fight - we find it necessary -
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory

Of good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah! [fadeout]

This song was actually a speech from Haile Selassie, who was an ethiopian president. Haile Selassie said that in front of the united nationes in California in 1968. I've chosen this sog because it talks about the causes of the war, and it says that this causes are discrimination and racism.
In the first verse I think that Bob Marley wants to say that if people keep discriminating other people, war will never ends. When he says that the human rights are the same for everyone, he says that no matter what is your skin colour, nor your sexual orientation nor religion... The human rights have to be the same for everyone.
I think that song talks a lot about social inequality and racial problems
