Protest songs for the ICE Age.

[feralkid]

I would even argue that Brown Shoes Don't Make It, from the Absolutely Free Mothers of Invention album fits with the Epstein socio sexual hypocrisy that is pervasive still in our culture.

I'm sure you will thank me for not dumping the lyrics here. Google it.

Speaking of Frank...

Regarding the current state of USA,

I often find myself reminded of the line "American Way, Try and Explain, Scab of a Nation Driven Insane"

I think the song is "Concentration Moon".

Ah yes, from "We're only in it for the money" album, with the St. Pepper's spoof cover. My fave is "Wait till the fire turns green".

Fortunate Son will never not be relevant in America. More classist and anyi-war than specifically anti-ICE, but ever relevant in that money buys security in the land of the free.

Great cover by Clutch:

Some folks I know just released this one.

Uncle Sam Goddamn by Brother Ali has to be about the most relevant protest song right now, especially the verse about our tax dollars being spent on a $1 billion a week killing brown people habit (though now it's more like $1 billion a day). Ugh paying points on my income to bomb little girls in Tehran, fuck the United States.

Fresh one from Carsie Blanton. Not every day you see a video with puppets singing about living in a death cult.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Never has this song been more relevant than now:

Felt cliche to post it but the lyrics couldn't be more on point.

Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses. I mean Jesus it's 100% in the now.

 

[Heartbreaker]

Jesse Wells again...

A taste of the lyrics:

They say that it's better to die in Iran, for your country and your pride
than to live in a nation that would ask you to be kind.

Better to die in Iran, to go out in style
than to prosecute a rapist or convict a pedophile.

Better to die in Iran. To go down in the fight
than to accept that the future might not be all white.

Better to die in Iran than to cure the nation's hunger.

 

[KMFJD]

i prefer the original but Bette Middler has a new version out

 

[KMFJD]

also not just tubthumping!

Some Italian songs (quite catchy!)

 

[nakedfrog]

I've played all three of those with my folk band (Chumbawumba also has an English cover of Bella Ciao, mine is based on a translation a local did, but I've made my own changes).
