Probably because they don't like the political sentiment. However, as much as I love Bruce, Tom, and this performance, there may be another reason. Tom's solo is recycled/repurposed for this song. He originally did it with Street Sweeper Social Club. If I'm not mistaken, I have it saved on my computer somewhere. Footage that I actually filmed myself.

When Tom starts his solo the crowd collectively gasped as though they saw the ghost of Jimi Hendrix 😂😂😂😂 the man is simply not human

In his Masterclass, Tom Morello talks about the construction of this solo, and how he kept it a secret during soundcheck by 'Chuck Berrying' his way through an imposter solo. Bruce also changed the key on Tom at the very last minute, and he was having difficulty singing it, and he didn't have time to transcribe the chords, which is why you see him hold back on the guitar until the solos. Tom puts every ounce of passion he has for social change into that solo. It makes you want to weep, and I actually did.

I was living in straight poverty and people wanted to turn their back on me. One time I was stiffed for $180.00 on a paycheck. Started to run out of money and I needed about $2.50 to get enough money to buy a bottle of insulin for a family member. Three hours later a guy gave me the money. Had no running car and had to ride a bike for over two miles to get insulin.The cashier who saw me regularly and liked me looked at me like I was a criminal drug addict all of a sudden. About 8 months later, I landed a good paying job, went back in and she was treating me good again, because I wasn't sweaty from riding miles on a bike in the heat. I will never forgive those people, ever. For all the people I gave money and animals I helped, if I see those people stuck on the side of the road, I will leave them for dead.

I have absolutely no idea how people survive on the street. I had one of the most forgiving homeless experiences of anyone on the planet - temperature rarely below 10 deg C, food most days, very little aggression from other homeless people and ready access to clean water - but after 2 weeks of that I wanted to end my life. My brother reasoned that it might just scare me away from a pattern of self-destructive behaviour, and he was right, at least in the short term. If I ever find myself back in that park, it'll be the last night of my life. Great song, but its a lot more than just words for me now, and that's an admission I never thought I'd have to make.
