Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
The unfortunate thing about this lyric is that people who have been asked to do nothing more than help keep our fellow citizens safe, healthy, and educated, think this is for them.
not to mention that the context of standing up to unjust government policing was reinterpreted by 90s skateboard kids as "be a dick to your teachers and parents"
And some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office.
From wikipedia:
Zack de la Rocha sometimes changed the lyrics in the second verse from "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses" to "Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office" when playing live.
Saw him live. Can confirm.
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
You can just replace company store with whatever capitalist institution owns you. π«

The lyrics that come to mind are:
"Badger Badger Badger Badger Mushroom Mushroom"
"Who Has To Know My Dirty Little Secret, Don't Tell Anyone Or You'll Be Just Another Regret"
And various parts of Dragostea Din Tei ( the Numa Numa song )
All of these thanks to my early days on the interwebs.
And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun

The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming
I've been waiting for the next Vengabus since 1998. Our public transport infrastructure is a fucking joke.
Ask not for whom the Vengabus comes, for it comes for thee.
Yes I know my enemies; They're the teachers who taught me to fight me.

The older I get the less I like that one
You can check out, but you can never leave.
βDespite all my rage Iβm still just a rat in a cageβ
&
βSo, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you could tell?
Did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
Weβre just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were hereβ
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me! x14
Fuckin magnets, how do they work?
- The bards Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope
They call me the hiphoppopotamus
Flows that glow like phosphorus
Poppin' off the top o' this esophagus
Rockin' this metropolis
I'm not a large water dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Some say the end is near Some say we'll see Armageddon soon Certainly hope will I sure could use a vacation from this Bull shit three ring sideshow circus of freaks

Deine Gewalt ist nur ein stummer Schrei nach Liebe
Deine Springerstiefel sehnen sich nach ZΓ€rtlichkeit
Du hast nie gelernt, dich zu artikulieren
Und deine Eltern hatten niemals fΓΌr dich Zeit
Oh-ho-ho, Arschloch!
I only lived in Germany for a bit, but this one stuck in my head pretty hard. Schrei nach Liebe by Die Γrzte
If you tolerate this, then your children will be next.
It's transcended time
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. - Freewill by Rush.
Working 9 to 5 What a way to make a livin'...
The complete lyrics hold up very well

I'm Violent J and I'm back like a vertebrae
And I come with a hat full of tricks
Trunk full of Faygo, car full of fat chicks.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed, Everybody knows the war is over, Everybody knows the good guys lost, Everybody knows the fight was fixed, The poor stay poor, the rich get rich, That's how it goes, Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking, Everybody knows the captain lied, Everybody got this broken feeling, Like their father or their dog just died, Everybody talking to their pockets, Everybody wants a box of chocolates, And a long-stem rose, Everybody knows...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be, oh can't it be mine?
"Fuck the police"
