Awesome protest music alert: Rage's Tom Morello in Street Sweeper Social Club

"May your Ferrari break down, may your chauffeur get get high / and smash up yo’ stretch Rolls up on Rodeo Drive / off the breaking backs of others where you got all your bucks / ‘til we get the revolution I just hope your life sucks”
-Street Sweeper Social Club

Hmm, Tom Morello adds the Rage flare, and the singer is like the rapper version of Tom Waits. I digg it. Check it out.

1. The singer is Boots Riley of The Coup.
His regular band is also definitely worth listening to.

this band. The lyrics are so awesome it hurts. Tom Morello on guitar doesn't hurt either ;)

3. Tom Morello and Boots Riley rule!
They played at a Coalition of Immokalee Workers march on Taco Bell Headquarters back during the boycott days - awesome protest music for sure!

Here's Tom at the Rage reunion in '07 during the McDonalds victory party in Chicago (McD's signed onto the CIW demands)
