Plenty of music is politically charged. Is that something you like, or is music for fun and entertainment only.
What's your favourite political song?
I'll get the ball rolling with- Public Enemy - Fight the Power.

If you want something really politically controversial that was banned in the 70's and the likes of BoJo's father and Lord Snooty consider a fair price for brexit listen to this song while watching the video attached to it...

Fletcher Memorial Home also gets my vote too. But for something more recent, one of my faves is “Nobody Speak” by DJ Shadow. Almost prophetic considering it was written and filmed before Trump was elected and Brexit happened.

With hindsight, perhaps 'comfortably numb'??

ooooh... political songs.... can i have "merry xmas war is over" by john lennon.....
Fight the power is one of my fave songs... i think when people look at lyrics they don't realise how unsavoury elvis and john wayne were until you delve deeper.....
(besides.... do the right thing which is where the song comes from... fantastic film!) |

"Come on guys and girls...
Stop with the English titles, either post the name of the song in its original foreign language or a youtube link!  "
But Pop Will Eat Itself are a British group.... |

's the longest running joke
In history
To kill the working classes
In the name of liberty
The lies of Hillsborough
The blood of Orgreave
All the evasion at the BBC
And 30 years of war
To darken all our class
Black propaganda, lies and mistrust
See it in our eyes, the fire dimming away
The old-boy network won the war again
The old-boy network won the war again
The old-boy network won the war again
So you hide all Lowry's paintings
For 30 years or more
'Cos he turned down a knighthood
And you must now settle the score
And the endless parade of old Etonian scum
Line the front benches so what is to be done?
All part of the same establishment
I ask you again what is to be done?
I ask you again what is to be done?
I ask you again what is to be done?
These verses at attention stand
Ready for the immortal command
The armies of my pages may never fight again
Happy for the order to meet eternal flame
Blame the poor
Praise the rich
Make the connections
Put them in print
Keep 'em boxed in
Keep 'em kettled in
Create a mistruth
So bewildering
Create a mistruth
So bewildering
Create a mistruth
So bewildering
So you hide all Lowry's paintings
For 30 years or more
'Cos he turned down a knighthood
And you must now settle the score
And the endless parade of old Etonian scum
Line the front benches so what is to be done?
All part of the same establishment
I ask you again what is to be done?
I ask you again what is to be done?
I ask you again what is to be done?
So you hide all Lowry's paintings
For 30 years or more
'Cos he turned down a knighthood
And you must now settle the score
And the endless parade of old Etonian scum
Line the front benches so what is to be done?
All part of the same establishment
I ask you again what is to be done?
I ask you again what is to be done?
I ask you again what is to be done?
