New Millennium Homes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"New Millennium Homes" is a song by Rage Against the Machine, from their third album The Battle of Los Angeles. The song is about "Spirit of Jackson"; George Jackson was a young black man on death row. His prison letters have been collected and published. This song described how people seek refuge in the future; a majority of the people today hope for wealth in the future and they want to be secure sometime in their life. Since most people are secure in their homes, "New Millennium Homes" is used as a metaphor to the fact that people want secure futures.
