Killing in the Name (Demo) Lyrics

Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Ugh!

Killing in the name of
Killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
But now you do what they told ya
Well now you do what they told ya
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge
They're the chosen whites
You justify those who died by wearing the badge
They're the chosen whites
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge
They're the chosen whites
Those who die are justified by wearing the badge
They're the chosen whites

Some of those who work forces
Are the same who burn crosses
Some of those that work forces
Are the same who burn crosses
Some of those who work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Ugh!

Killing in the name of
Killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
You justify those that died by wearing the badge
They're the chosen whites
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
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge
They're the chosen whites
Come on!
Ugh!

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya

You justify those that died by wearing the badge (And now you do what they told ya)
They're the chosen whites (And now you do what they told ya)
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge (And now you do what they told ya)
They're the chosen whites (And now you do what they told ya)
You justify those that died by wearing the badge (And now you do what they told ya)
They're the chosen whites (And now you do what they told ya)
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge (And now you do what they told ya)
They're the chosen whites (And now you do what they told ya)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
