"Killing in the Name" is a protest song by the American rock band Rage Against the Motorcar, featured on its self-titled debut album, and it was released as the lead single from the album in November 1992.

Describing a revolution which needs to be waged confronting the authorities in social club to cease their abuse of power, "Killing in the Name" is widely recognized as the band'southward signature vocal, and it has been noted for its distinctive guitar riffs and for heavy use of profanity.

According to Morello, "Killing in the Name" was created in a collaborative effort, combining his riff with "Timmy C.'s magmalike bass, Brad Wilk's funky, fell drumming and Zack's conviction".[2] Like all Rage Against the Auto songs tuned to drib D, it was recorded on a Fender Telecaster.[3]

The song'southward lyrics were inspired past the Rodney King instance, where after a high-speed police chase the doubtable Male monarch was browbeaten by several law enforcement officers, and the subsequent 1992 Los Angeles riots sparked past the acquittal of the officers involved.[11] [12] [xiii] The refrain "some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses" draws a link between the Los Angeles Police force Department and the Ku Klux Klan.[14] BBC News refers to "Killing in the Name" as railing against "the armed forces–industrial complex, justifying killing for the benefit of, equally the song puts it, the chosen whites".[xv]

The embrace of the CD-single is Malcolm Browne's Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of Thích Quảng Đức'south self-immolation in Saigon in 1963 in protest of the murder of Buddhists by the U.S.-backed authorities of Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem.
