Comment on Where are the good political songs?

I listen to a lot of punk music so obviously it’s strongly political. Here’s just a few off the top of my head:
- White People for Peace by Against Me!
- Unprotected Sex With Multiple Partners by Against Me!
- Survivor Guilt by Rise Against
- State of the Union by Rise Against
- The Eco-Terrorist In Me by Rise Against
- 45 by Sum41
- Empty Walls by Serj Tankian
- Prison Song by System of a Down
- Christian Nationalist by Anti-Flag
- Die for your Government by Anti-Flag
- 72 hookers by NOFX
- Please Play This Song on the Radio by NOFX
- Fuck Euphemism by NOFX
- Take Back the Power by The Interrupters
I tried to include a bit of variety and not all be anti-war songs from/about the Bush era. A couple are about the music industry specifically, and one is a musical rant about kink culture (and it’s not the one you think based on the title!) I’m also a big Rise Against fan so I tried to pull out some non-singles from accross many years since basically any song by them has a good political message. I highly recommend looking up the lyrics to all of these after the first listen or better during the second listen
