“Bulls on Parade” is a blistering 1996 single by Rage Against the Machine, featured on their second album Evil Empire. Fueled by Tom Morello’s signature wah-heavy guitar riffs and Zack de la Rocha’s incendiary vocals, the song critiques the military-industrial complex and the commodification of violence, with lines like “Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes.” Its title evokes aggressive force and blind nationalism, likening warmongers to stampeding bulls. Morello’s solo—created using unconventional toggle-switch techniques—became iconic, and the track remains a staple of protest playlists and live shows. It’s a sonic Molotov cocktail: raw, rhythmic, and politically charged.
