| TheGrandArdizzle I agree. I also thought it said: "Americanize, Americanize view the world from American eyes bury the past, rob us blind and leave nothing behind..." Which would refer to America pushing its culture and ideas on the rest of the world. Although some of my friends think its just "American eyes." | |

| ahh i never noticed the double thing in "american eyes/americanize". to me it's pure anti capitalism, simple as that, i don't really understand the politics but thats how it seems. from a lyrical point of view this is one of my favourite Rage songs | |

| parts of this song make me think its about globalization. like the following lines: To advertise some hip disguise View tha world from American eyes globalization of the western culture also these lines: They fix the need, develop the taste Buy their products or get laid to waste Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon And Rambo too, he got a dope pair of Nikes on | |

| This song appeared on the Godzilla soundtrack, and Rage Against the Machine is dissing the whole of the entertainment industry (including Godzilla and its director Steven Speilberg) and saying that the entertainment industry is working in conjunction with the government to keep the citizens complacent and unaware of the real-life dramas of the world (Godzilla pure motherfuckin' filler [to] Get your eyes on the real killer.) They also attack other issues like how advertising companies make you think that you are cool for buying their products (They got you thinkin' that what you need is what they sellin' / Make you think that buyin' is rebellin'.) I really like this song because it was lyrics that mean a lot to me (and cool music too.) This song also appears as Track 13 on the Australian version of 'The Battle of Los Angeles.' Oh, and by the way, the lyrics above are pretty wrong, so try and find them somewhere else if you want the real deal. | |
