“Silence, something about silence makes me sick
‘Cause silence can be violent sorta like a slit wrist

The vibe was suicide then you would push da button
But if ya bowin’ down then let me do the cuttin’

Some speak the sounds but speak in silent voices
Like radio is silent though it fills the air with noises.”

– Rage Against the Machine: ‘Fistfull of Steel'(1992)
