Rage Against the Machine cucked hard (maybe they always were), but they had some good lines in their music.

Mic Check asks: "Who has the power, that be my question; the priest, the book, or the congregation?"

People seeking power think if only they can get the book and become the priest they'll have power over the congregation. They don't realize that the congregation choose to follow the book, listen to the priest, and that can go away at any time -- then they're angry that the book and their collar means nothing as people turn away.
