Information About The Song
In an interview, guitarist Tom Morello said this about the song:
Cochise was the last great American Indian chief to die free and absolutely unconquered. When several members of his family were captured, tortured, and hanged by the U.S. Cavalry, Cochise declared war on the entire Southwest and went on an unholy rampage, a warpath to end all warpaths. He and his warriors drove out thousands of settlers. Cochise the avenger, fearless and resolute, attacked everything in his path with an unbridled fury.

and wrap around you,
Take the neon lights and make a crown,
Take the Lenox Avenue buses,

And for your love song tone their rumble down.”
