In an interview, guitarist Tom Morello said this about the song: "Cochise was the last great American Indian chief to die free and absolutely unconquered. When several members of his family were captured, tortured, and hanged by the U.S. Cavalry, Cochise declared war on the entire Southwest and went on an unholy rampage, a warpath to end all warpaths. He and his warriors drove out thousands of settlers. Cochise the avenger, fearless and resolute, attacked everything in his path with an unbridled fury." "Cochise" was one of many songs to be included in the PlayStation 2 video game Guitar Hero. The song was also featured in the 2006 film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. A short clip of the song was also used in the 3rd episode of season 19 of The Simpsons, "Midnight Towboy". The song was used in a montage after the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. The song was used in trailers for the film Iron Man.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Well, I've been watching, while you've been coughing I've been drinking life, while you've been nauseous And so I drink to health, while you kill yourself And I've got just one thing that I can offer [Chorus] Go on and save yourself And take it out on me Go on and save yourself And take it out on me, yeah [Verse 2] I'm not a martyr, I'm not a prophet And I won't preach to you, but here's a caution You better understand, that I won't hold your hand But if it helps you mend, then I won't stop it [Chorus] Go on and save yourself And take it out on me Go on and save yourself And take it out on me, yeah [Chorus] Go on and save yourself And take it out on me Go on and save yourself And take it out on me, yeah [Bridge] Drown if you want, and I'll see you at the bottom Where you'll crawl on my skin and put the blame on me So you don't feel a thing [Chorus] Go on and save yourself And take it out on me Go on and save yourself And take it out on me, yeah [Chorus] Go on and save yourself And take it out on me Go on and save yourself And take it out on me, yeah
