"Year of tha Boomerang" is a song by American rock band Rage Against the Machine.

It originally appeared in the film and on the soundtrack of Higher Learning in 1994 and was eventually included on their second album Evil Empire (1996).

"Year of the Boomerang" made its live debut at Cal State Dominguez Hills in Carson, CA on April 29, 1994.

The spelling of "tha" in the title is a representation of the common hip-hop pronunciation of the definite article "the".

The lyrics appear to be far left, pro-revolutionary interpretations about minority representation and equality, as they contain several references to struggles against racism, sexism, and colonialism.
