In a game of word association, “Adorable” is likely one of the last words you’d say when thinking about Rage Against the Machine, but this cover of their classic “Killing in the Name” might change that.

The video below shows a father and his very young daughter covering the track, and frankly, it’s so damn cute it hurts! Per Consequence of Sound, the father playing guitar is Malaysian musician and Ujang Ijon and his daughter, Audrey.

The clip even made its way to Tom Morello who reshared the performance on his social media accounts along with the caption, “Preach sister preach.”
