Way back when Nirvana, Tool, RATM and all the great early 90's bands were coming up, there was another.
A dingy Swedish band named Clawfinger.
They had a debut, self released album named Deaf Dumb Blind and it's most well known song was named Nigger.
The song sprung outrage with the conservative right in the US, because back then they pretended they were against racism and the use of that word.
Clawfinger was similar in lyrical meaning with Rage Against the Machine, most of their songs were protest songs.
These are the lyrics.
(guess I'll link it as I can't find how to do spoiler tags ...)
Rember when Cobain wrote "rape me" becuase he had to hit people in the head with the message because the song "polly" went right over it?
