Had a hard day? Let not your heart be troubled, intrepid reader. The comedy gods have smiled upon you and given Big Hollywood the sad, inevitable, hilarious zenith of the music world’s intersection with the Occupy movement.
After the pathetic Occupy-themed song of Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, the political rap-rock band’s singer rhythmic vocalist Zack de la Rocha decided to honor the nationwide protesters, possibly to encourage them after a spate of crackdowns and evictions by local governments. Take a look and catch a glimpse of what may have been the tenor of Mr. la Rocha’s oft-promised but never-launched career as a solo artist:
Via Prefix:
The beginning spills through city veins
Into the arteries
And under powers poison clouds
We move like the shadows
Through the alley ways
Through nightmares bought and sold as dreams
Through barren factories
Through boarded schools
Through rotting fields
Through the burning doors of the past
Through imaginations exploding
To break the curfews in our minds
Our actions awaken dreams of actions multiplied
A restless fury
Once buried like burning embers
Left alone to smolder
But together stacked under the walls of a dying order
All sparks are counted
Calloused hands raised in silence
Over the bonfire of hope unincorporated
It’s flame restores tomorrows meaning
Across the graveyards of hollow promises
As gold dipped vultures pick at what is left of our denial
And the youngest among us
Stare at us stoned like eyes determined
And say
Death for us may come early
Cause dignity has no price
At the corner of now and nowhere
Anywhere
Everywhere
Tomorrow is calling
Tomorrow is callingDo not be afraid
