Electric Uncle Sam (feat. Tom Morello) Lyrics
I am the plan, I am the man who tells you
what and when you can. I'm the old one
that torments you. I am the voice that
tells you to:
"Don't get caught with your fingers in my
pie. Mess with me and boy you're surely
gonna' die. If ever you're in doubt about
who or where I am. I'm here, I'm there, I'm
everywhere. I am your Uncle Sam."
Electric Uncle Sam
You beg me please on bended knees not to
sit among these enemies. If you feel like
you wanna dance then step aside and take
a chance.
"Don't get caught with your fingers in my
pie. Mess with me and boy you're surely
gonna' die. If ever you're in doubt about
who or where I am. I'm here, I'm there, I'm
everywhere. I am your Uncle Sam."

This song is about THE MAN and how he controls your life. His "pie" is the system. If you try to screw with the system, the secret service will take you OUT. By the time you read this, I could be a goner.
Not really the Man, but the American government. This one is cowritten by Tom Morello, and he plays guitar on it, too.
The American Government is THE MAN! And some days he blows more chunks than a college freshmen chick at her first party. I am a big fan of Tom Morello because that man can tweak a guitar like it was a demon from the depths of despair. His style is very much his own and it's great to see him mix it up with Les Claypool. As I said rather incoherently on the Too Many Puppies thread, even though Claypool went to Berkeley in the 1980's, he wasn't swept in the conservative movement that gripped the campus. He most likely sided with the professors. His politics must gel well with Morello and they created this awesome song. It's another great song to hear at anti-war rally.
OpinionHead is correct! Tom Morello co-wrote and did the guitars for this absolutely AWESOME song. I have always been a big fan of RATM, by the way.
Anyway, as said many times before, this song is all about the United States Government and the chokehold they have on the American people. The government is trying to publicize our private lives and privatize public institutions.

the government? I thought it was about some sort of omniscient baker?
Dude, punctuate, please.
Yes, it is unclear where your sentences begin and end. Fred Durst only produces on Laquer Head, it is not tainted with his less than mediocre vox.
number one imperialist and number one terrorist?
