Rage Against The Machine (sometimes shortened to Rage or RATM) is an American rock band noted both for its diligent political conscience and for its blend of hard rock and rap. By the time point of the band's break-up in 2000, Rage Against the Machine had become one of the most popular political hard rock bands of all time, and certainly of the 1990s. Following the break-up of the band, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk formed Audioslavewith singer Chris Cornell, formerly of Soundgarden, which had recently disbanded. Rage Against the Machine is now at least temporarily reunited for a series of concerts. Rage Against the Machine drew inspiration from early metallic instrumentation, as well as rap acts such as Public Enemy, and Afrika Bambaataa.

Year Of Tha Boomerang Lyrics

Rage Against The Machine

Tha sistas are in so check tha front line
It seems I spent the 80s in a haiti state of
Mind
Cast me into classes for electro shock
Straight incarcerated, the curriculum a cell
Block
Im swimming in half thruts and it makes me
Wanna spit
Instructor come separate the healthy form tha
Sick
Ya weigh me on a scale Im smellin
Burnt skin
Its dark now in dachau and Im screamin from
Within
cause Im cell locked in tha doctrines of tha
Right
Enslaved by dogma, ya talk about my birthrights
Yet at every turn Im runnin into
Hells gates
So I grip tha connan like fanon an pass tha
Shells to my classmates
cause tha bosses right ta live is mine ta die
So Im goin out heavy sorta like mount tai
Wit tha five centuries of penitentiary so let
Tha guilty hang
In tha year of tha boomerang
I got no prosperity but yo Im a piece of it
So let tha guilty hang
In tha year of tha boomerang
And now its upon you
