The story behind
Rage Against the Machine released Bulls on Parade in April 1996, as part of the album Evil Empire. The song was recorded in a Los Angeles studio and was highlighted by its guitar, which used a killswitch and moved the hand across the strings. The riff is one of the most remembered by the band.
The lyrics speak about the relationship between industry and the military, criticizing how resources are used for war. Phrases like "Weapons, not food" or "Terror rains" reflect that criticism. The video shows images of protests, armies, and flags, mixed with lyrics on screen. Tom Morello appears as a man in a black jacket and cap, drawing on a wall.
