    It's in the intro of the song "the numbers" if you want a serious answer. First song in the album"nowhere generation". Unfortunately it's a sample, they don't actually play it.

        Fairly sure Tim Mcllrath confirmed it's a Russian version of L'Internationale in an interview. Genius dot com got it wrong on their lyrics page.

        Songfacts: Nowhere Generation opens with a brief audio clip of a song called "The Internationale" (aka "L'Internationale").

        McIlrath: "L'Internationale" has sort of become an anthem for the left-wing movements throughout history. Different cultures have kept the rhythm and the song the same, but they changed the lyrics to suit whatever struggle they were going through.

        McIlrath: I think it's like the music to the French national anthem, but we use a Russian version to kick the record off. It's just a nod to a lot of the labor movements around the world, and also to point out a lot of the struggles that we deal with today are something that we've dealt with historically.

          oh neat, it didn't have the tune I'm used to and it sounded similar to the anthem so I just assumed. I hadn't heard the rest of this song before and I love that Rise Against has only gotten more explicitly leftist over the years.

            Yeah I don't like their partnership with Indecline for their latest music videos (I still remember Indecline's edgy asshole style Reddit AMA), but whatever gets the message out there, I support it. Still love Rise Against though.
