Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies

This song is about the flaws in American government. It is stating that America needs to change.

The song, as heard in dialogue, is about the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, which was caused by the acquittal of four white police officers accused of beating a black motorist. It contains actual samples from police radio broadcasts and news report snippets of the riots. Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn told Kerrang that industrial bands like Ministry, who put a lot of movie clips in their songs, gave him the idea of telling a story with samples. “It was taking really extreme views from white supremacists and then taking really extreme views from black nationalists, and then trying to find the middle, where we could all come together at the end of it,” he said. “So I took all these really controversial statements for the first two sections of it, and then I tried to find the middle ground and be creative with it. It was more like talking and soundbites, it wasn’t really a song." Additionaly, the songs title came from some graffiti in Flynn’s home city of Oakland, California. He explained "I used to live by the subway and if you drove down towards this punk club where we used to see Rancid and all these bands, it said those words on three cement pillars; it said Real eyes, realize, real lies, and I just thought it was really cool, so when that song came together, there was our song title.”

If you listen to the articles in the back ground, its also about black persecution," You got white scum, Hispanic Scum, But most of all you got nigger scum". Like jordan says.. its about Americas need to change

"The largest urban uprising in recent US history." "We the jury and the (?) find the defendant not guilty." (Rodney King beating trial, I assume) "Police stand by, as looters take what they want." (sounds like Bill Curtis) "Police brutality is on the rise." "...National Guard has been deployed to establish control throughout LA, the looting and mayhem continue." (again sounds like Curtis) "I support an initiative that will put one hundred thousand police officers on the streets of America." "America has to make some sort of radical change." "(?) the Devil, the Caucasian white man." "(?) we just ask for our own nation where we can promote white culture, white ideals, white history and they haven't given it to us, and we're gonna take it." "What I wanna see is the destruction of the whole white race." (Br0kk| thinks it might be Charles Manson, but I'm not convinced) "You got scum, you also got white scum too, you also got Spanish scum but worst of all you got that nigger scum." "And why do you have to go after them and why do they go after you?" "Because we're different gangs and we don't like each other. (?)...cause, how you gonna put the gun away when you just saw a brother or whatever got shot?" "(?) black men being robbers, not every black man robs or steals." "Boy's gonna get in my face, he's gonna get it right back and that's it, no matter if they're black, white, or anything." "There's an increase in police brutality." "I'm tryin' to get mine, it's survival out here, brother!" "You've gotta know yourself, and you've gotta know the enemy." "I'm not (?). I'm not their enemy."
