Great Regulars: The protests were sparked by the death

of a herder named Murgen who was run over by a mining company truck during a standoff between drivers and local people in May.

"I want freedom," sings the unnamed student. "Give me freedom," he says before launching a string of expletives at China's national security police, at Internet censors who deleted his microblog posts, and at government officials who turn a blind eye to environmental devastation.

"We have grazed animals here thousands of years," he raps. "How many people are coming here to open mines and plunder our resources?"
