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. "Dow-Jones"; the Dow-Jones is a stock index of the New York Stock Exchange and is used as a barometer for the health of the stock market in the U.S. This song basically talks about 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.
