In a world gone mad it's hard to think right / So much violence hate and spite / Murder going on all day and night / Due time we fight the non-violent fight
Sådan starter Beastie Boys deres antikrigssang In a World Gone Mad. Sangen kan frit downloades på gruppens officielle site. In a World Gone Mad ligger som en mp3-fil på 4,43 MB og varer 3,17 minutter.
Om baggrunden for nummeret siger Adam Yauch: "We felt it was important to comment on where the US appears to be heading now. A war in Iraq will not resolve our problems. It can only result in the deaths of many innocent civilians and US troops. If we are truly striving for safety, we need to build friendships, not try to bully the rest of the world."
Et fint initiativ om end det ser ud til at imperiets krig er uundgåelig.
