Cover art for Calm Like a Bomb lyrics by Rage Against the Machine

I'm suprised no one has written about this song yet, I think it is one of Rage's best. This song is about revolution. It is saying that no matter where you look in the world their is oppression and that there are people ready to fight back against this oppression. 'Calm like a bomb' refers to these people lying in wait so that the oppresser does not realize the danger until the day they go to far and a revolution blows up in their face.
