      I greet you in urdu, I greet you in hindi
      I use the sikh battle cry, and value the compassion of Christ
      I do this in plain view, I do this before all
      Adamant about walking hand in hand with them all

      I see a state turning to faith, faith turning to hate
      Hate turning to votes, votes turn into notes
      Blacker kind of black money, we’re the antidote
      Best kind of bloody, yeah, we’re bringin’ the hope
      You gotta walk the rope, up on your block, provoked
      I’m what you’re not, show you what I got, rock the boat
      Where you at? I don’t need no gun
      I bring the fire and the fury of the third world, son!

      It’s about politicians who use religion to divide people, and the song title is Gaddaar, which is Hindi for “traitor”. Their other songs include Jee Veerey, which means “live, brave one” and is about suicide and bullying. And Dana Dan, which means “bring the beatdown” and starts with the lyric “I put a fist through the face of a rapist”. There’s also Chakh Le, which means “rise up” and advocates for a revolution against the billionaire class.

      One of their tours was called Raj Against The Machine and iirc they donated a bunch of profits to animal shelters

      It’s the most popular metal band in India
