"Calm Like a Bomb" is a song by American rap/rock band Rage Against the Machine, off their third album The Battle of Los Angeles. It is notable as a display of guitarist Tom Morello's creative use of a whammy pedal. The song was featured in the end credits of 2003 movie The Matrix Reloaded. Like all of RATM's songs, the song's lyrics discuss social inequalities, such as "post no bills", a phrase that was spray-painted onto walls to discourage political expression. The song also features a reference to Emiliano Zapata. Tim Commerford uses a "wah wah" pedal on his bass throughout the song.
