RAGE against the Machine

I am going to quote a RAGE song. Some of the words I don’t understand.

“She ain’t got nothin’ but weapon and shawl
She is Chol, Tzotzil, Tojolobal, Tzeltal”

If anyone can tell me what those words(Chol-Tzotzil-Tojolobal-Tzeltal) mean I’d be grateful

They are indigenous groups in Mexico. The song is about unrest in Mexico.

If you so a search for those words you’ll find a ton of Rage links and a few “indigenous groups of Mexico” links.

Reminds me of one of my favorite things the smart-ass Euro-music press ever did, when one of the English tabloids ran, in every issue, a “Rage Against The ___________ Machine” column. For example, “Rage Against The Washing Machine.”

One was “Rage Against The Answering Machine,” and it went kinda like, “I hate you answering machine! I run to the phone to get a call and you get it before I do! Then I have to make you stop talking! When I want to call someone, you are there and I have to talk to you instead! I hate you answering machine!”


Yer pal,
Satan

A friend and I wanted to make a spoof industrial/punk band called:

Rage Against the Tin Machines of Loving Grace


You always use violence. I should’ve ordered glutinous rice chicken.

Actually, I’m pretty sure those are gods, not indigenous groups. The song is about unrest in Mexico though, and I believe its referring to the gods seeking their vengeance for the wrongs that were committed against Mexico in the past.

Disregard that last message by me, Douglips had it right. That’ll show me to speculate and then do the research. Those are indigenous groups.

In order to do my penance, I offer up these ignorance fighting links:
