REVOLVER Lyrics

Artist: Rage Against The Machine
Album: Evil Empire

His spit is worth more than her work
Pass the purse to the pugilists
He's a prizefighter
And he bought rings and he owns kin
And now he's swingin'
And now he's the champion
Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
Revolver!
Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
Revolver

A spotless domain
Hides festering hopes she's certain there's more
Pictures of fields without fences
A spotless domain
Hides festering hopes she's certain there's more
Pictures of fields without fences
Her body numbs as he approaches the door
As he approaches the door
As he approaches the door
As he approaches the door
As he approaches
Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
Revolver!
Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
Revolver!
Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
Revolver!
Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
Revolver!

Yeah!
Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
Revolver!
Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
Revolver!
Revolver!
Revolver!
Revolver!
Revolver

Awesome song! If they could just understand the meaning and message of this song, they would really like these.

This song is about the Stanford Prison Experiment

anny, as in the milgram experiment?

Generally speaking, it seems like this song could be about how so many fathers are killed fighting wars and then mothers have to take over raising the kids by themselves, thus becoming the father and the mother at the same time.

I do agree with kalash, because de la rocha lived with his mother for most of his life without his father.

its about domestic violence. Thus the metaphor of the father as a boxer and the mother numbing herself whenever he approaches. The mother finally gets fed up and decides to kill the father with the revolver, arguing that she would be a better father than he was ("dont mothers make good fathers?")

I agree with tyler d. And this interpretation fits in nicely with a left-wing political view as well, which is really what RATM is about; at least more than just wars and violence.

Great interpretation kalash.

I'm with tyler d on this one, his interpretation makes sense given that Zack had serious issues with his father.
