	I'm with SENORgracioso. The "fear is your only god" line simply means that the only thing you get on the radio is terror. The Managua thing is probably talking about how the Americans attacked some place in Africa.

	me thinks something in particular about the line "fear is your only god." perhaps this points to religious talk shows on the radio or religious people in general. it means :wake up idiots, all religion is bullshit...you should be afraid..no one knows what's really going to happen when we die..

No Picture camilo Average	#3 by camilo velasquez at Aug 25, 2006 at 4:41 PM EST
	Wats-up they're not forcing anything on anyone. They're simply voicing their opinion. "Why stand on a silent platform" You have to admit that lyrically they are one of the greatest bands ever. I love RATM and always will. They are the most unique and creative bands i've ever seen.

	Zack, you are the best!!

	Anyone know what this line means? "Tha same devil that ran around managua wit a Sword" Love this song, probably in my top 5 Rage songs.

	Stacey Coon was the sergeant involved w/ the Rodney King beatings

	"The same one that ran around Managua with a sword." Managua is the capital of Nicaragua. I think Jamah is on the right track, but the reference to a sword makes it hard to believe that this line refers to an insurgency of the 1980s (although it is certainly possible). This line seems to best fit with William Walker, a "filibuster" who led an unauthorized invasion force into Nicaragua in the 19th Century. He defeated the Nicaraguan Army and ruled Nicaragua (both directly and indirectly) for roughly a year. I think the William Walker reference makes more sense because it explains the sword part of the line - a general or president of this time would have had a sword with him at all times. In addition, the description of "running around Managua" implies a very unfocused and illigetimate operation - which Walker's conquest of Nicaragua most definitely was. If I'm right, it lends huge credibility to Rage, as they'd have to be well-informed to employ such little known historical events in their lyrics.
