Favorite openly political songs?!
Question: Favorite openly political songs!?
I have tons, but the one which came to mind first is -
"Go to Sleep!. (Little Man being Erased!.)" by Radiohead
GREAT lyrics, perfectly convey Thom Yorke's political and societal dismay and fury (which I can relate to)!.
"We don't really want a monster taking over / Tiptoe around, tie him down / We don't want the loonies takin' over!.!.!."
The song's five years old now, but serves as the perfect reaction to McCain/Palin (the monsters, the loonies)!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

NOTE - This Answer was in Reaction to this Post!.
I hated doing it, because POLITICS is the Great Divider and IMO does NAWT Belong in R&P
While We're at it :)) --
Where's your knowledge of Musical History !?!?
Check out bands, like The Weavers & Woody Guthrie!.
They were under immense political pressure, because of their history of singing protest songs and folk songs favoring labor unions!.
Did C,S,N,Y or Peter, Paul, & Mary have to Live in Fear !?!?
Now - Those were the serious people -- not like the Garbage of a Song like "OHIO" - which is complete Propaganda!.
Where's the song about the Facts of the Tens of Thousands of People, RUSHING at a Moderate Force of Young National Guardsman !?!?
They were Stupid !!!.!.The Students are Repsonsible for Creating "4 Dead in O-HI-O" -- but, the Propaganda continues!.

Suits Obama's limp insipdness and total lack of a plan to a tee!.
Going out of Your way to insult someone that served their country as well and as nobly as John McCain doesn't fly with Me!.
And what exactly is wrong with Sarah Palin besides being an upstanding decent Person!?!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

Any Rage Against the Machine song!. While I don't always agree with their political viewpoints(namely Communism), they are right about a good many things!. My favourite Rage song would probably be either "Know Your Enemy" or "Freedom"!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
