Renegades
Rage rest in peace? Hardly. No justice - no peace. -Motherf**ker.
At the end, then, they've left us with a record of their beginnings. Instead of the long-promised live album, Rage Against The Machine's final salvo is a collection of cover versions. The live album will probably come too, with Rage's paymasters keen as mustard to cash in on their legacy. For all their sound and fury, Rage didn't actually manage to upend the profit...

What does this parade of heavyweights amount to? Refreshingly, the answer proves to be nothing very much at all.

Rage Against the Machine - Renegades: Wikipedia Album Entry
Renegades is the first cover album by American rap rock band Rage Against the Machine and the final release by the band. The album consists entirely of cover songs and includes covers of artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Minor Threat, Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, MC5, the Rolling Stones, Cypress Hill, and Devo. It was released in 2000, after Rage singer Zack de la Rocha had already left the band, but featured his vocals. It is rumored that Zack did not want the album to be released, and the band secured separate management to ensure it would come out. After the release of Renegades, the remaining three members of the band reformed with Chris Cornell on vocals as Audioslave. Rage did, however, release one final album, Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium, a live recording of their final two concerts in Los Angeles on September 12 and September 13, 2000. The bonus live version of "Kick Out the Jams" on the European version of this album also appears on Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium.

Rage Against the Machine - The Ghost Of Tom Joad Lyrics
Man walks along the railroad track
He's Goin' some place, there's no turnin' back
The Highway Patrol chopper comin' up over the ridge
Man sleeps by a campfire under the bridge

Rage Against the Machine - Pistol Grip Pump Lyrics
Pistol grip pump on my lap at all times
Pistol grip pump on my lap at all times
Pistol grip pump on my lap at all times
They can be fucking with other niggaz shit
Rage Against the Machine - Microphone Fiend Lyrics
Yo, I was a fiend before I became a teen
I melted microphone instead of cones of ice cream
Music orientated so when hip-hop was originated
Fitted like pieces of puzzles, complicated
Rage Against the Machine - Maggie's Farm Lyrics
I ain't gonna work on
Maggie's farm, no more
No, I ain't gonna work on
Maggie's farm, no more
Rage Against the Machine - In My Eyes Lyrics
You tell me you like the taste
You just need an excuse
You tell me it calms your nerves
You just think it looks cool
Rage Against the Machine - How I Could Just Kill a Man Lyrics
Hey, don't miss out on what you're passing
You're missing the hootah of the funky Buddha
Eluder of the fucked up styles that get wicked
So come on as I start to kick it

Rage Against the Machine - Down on The Street Lyrics
Down on the street where the faces shine
Floatin' around I'm a real low mind
See a pretty thing in a wall
See a pretty thing in a wall
Rage Against the Machine - Beautiful World Lyrics
It's a beautiful world, we live in
A sweet romantic place
Beautiful people everywhere
The way they show they care
Rage Against the Machine - Renegades Of Funk Lyrics
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
We're the renegades of this atomic age
Rage Against the Machine - Street Fighting Man Lyrics
Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy
Tell me what can a poor boy do except for sing for a rock an' roll band
'Cause in this sleepy L.A. town there's just no place
