Lyric discussion by Aneurysm1985 

Cover art for Testify lyrics by Rage Against the Machine

I love how Zack tells the television anchorman to dress up all the acts of violence that happen to be 'bloodless' and squeaky-clean. This is really what the media does and we don't get the half of what happens most of the time.

Also, I think that the 'Who controls the past now controls the future' means that the same type of people have been in control forever, no matter what political party they belong to.
