Faith No More are best know for their intense, brooding style of funk metal. Becoming increasingly weird with each album after Mr. Bungle singer Mike Patton joined the band.
In 1992 FNM released Angel Dust, their second album with Patton on vocals. As a single, they mystified and delighted both fans and mainstream audiences with a cover of a 1997 hit by The Commodores, Easy;

"Europe ain’t my rope to swing on
Can’t learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the motherfuckin’ weathermen
To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
‘Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back"
#RageAgainstTheMachine, 1992

Have they no respect for wealth creators like us? After all, everything we did was in ruthless pursuit of making money. That's what wealth creation means, right?
(3/?)
Coda: Fuck you Late Capitalists. I've tried to peacefully coexist with you, the perfect being the enemy of the good and all that. I've tried to fit in with the rules of your world.
But you made that *impossible* to do in good conscience. So now, to quote the Infectious Grooves, all the rules have just gone out the window;

You want to declare a class war on me and mine? Denigrate and starve us? Fuck you, it's on.
