california uber alles by dead kennedys 
and i used to dig on that album "friendly fascism" by consolidated, which i know is completely anally PC to the hilt, but it was the first hip-hop i'd ever heard that sounded good musically and at the same time said stuff i could kinda get with (pro-gay, pro-woman, pro-animal rights, etc.). | |

I took liberty to include some socio/political songs, since it often intertwines:
Ani DiFranco's "To The Teeth" Ani DiFranco's "Fuel" Ani DiFranco's 'Tis Of Thee" Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five's "The Message" Springsteen's cover of "War" Edwin Starr's "War" Bob Marley's "War" Springsteen's "41 Shots (American Skin)" Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" Special AKA's "Free Nelson Mandela" - dated because of content, but that's obviously a good thing. Temptation's "Ball Of Confusion" Temptation's "Masterpiece" The Pretender's "My City Was Gone" Stevie Wonder's "Big Brother" Stevie Wonder's "You Haven't Done Nothin'" Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Ohio" PE's "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" PE's "Burn Hollywood Burn" PE's "Power To The People" PE's "Revolutionary Generation" PE's "Fight The Power" PE's "Son Of A Bush"...awwhh, hell just about any political PE songs. Meshell Ndegeocello's "Shoot'n Up and Gett'n High" Almost any political song by The Clash. Gil Scott-Heron's "Winter In America" Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" Gil Scott-Heron's "Paint It Black" Gil Scott-Heron's "Ain't No New Thing" Prince's "Sign Of The Times" (live version) Prince's "The War" The entire What's Going On album. There's never been an album like it. ` [This message was edited Thu Aug 26 23:19:30 2004 by Supernova] This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Bob Dylan - 'John Brown'; 'With God On Our Side'; 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall'
Gil Scott-Heron - 'Johannesburg'; 'Winter in America' Stevie Wonder - 'You Haven't Done Nothin' ' Curtis Mayfield - 'We've Gotta Have Peace'; 'We People Who Are Darker Than Blue' Buffalo Springfield - 'For What It's Worth' Billy Bragg & Wilco - 'The Unwelcome Guest' (Not really "anti-war", but a great political song....) Bob Marley - 'War' And from recently, I like Faithless - 'Mass Destruction' too... But the greatest....? Gotta go with Marvin Gaye - 'What's Going On' 
BTW, does anyone have a copy of Gil Scott-Heron's song '95 South (All of the places we've been)' on CD / in MP3 format..... Heard it live, but never tracked it down... "Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin | |

I agree with every post and machine gun was the only song that immediately came to mind but then I thought, whether it's about war or protest of anybody being held down by the man.
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me", "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me", "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" I miss this band. | |

sorry, I don't have that one, but of course I don't do illegal music exchange anyway  ...I just do "backup" copies every now and then
but I just bought a Gil Scott Heron Live DVD two days ago, awesome!! it's been a while since I've seen him perform, it's about time he comes around again to my little Austrian hometown  Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

I love the fact that the chorus starts with "War is stupid...". After that I'm lost. | |

I guess this would also be more in the socio-political category.
Based on the performance I just saw by Elvis Costello during A Concert For Linda... ...Peace, Love And Understanding As I walk through This wicked world Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity. I ask myself Is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred, and misery? And each time I feel like this inside, There's one thing I wanna know: What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? tA Tribal Disorder

My band the Punk Rock Orchestra does a new rendition of this song called Schwartzenegger Uber Alles. Here you go with the lyrics: I am governer Gropinator You like me now but you'll all pay later Soon I will be president Davis power will soon go away I will train you all today I will pump up all of you Your kids will take steroids in school Your kids will shoot steroids in school Schwartzenegger - Über Alles Schwartzenegger - Über Alles Über Alles - Schwartzenegger Über Alles - Schwartzenegger Fitness fascists will control you Won't tax the rich I'll just tax you! You voted for me cause I don't hate queers But speak Spanish and you'll serve five years! He thought Hitler was a sexy man You think Arnold's gone as far as he can? He can't be president you say. The governator always finds a way. He will be fürer one day! California Über Alles (etc.) Now it is 2024 New York City's on the Ocean Floor The world is run by robot police They hunt latinos and the obese Scream as they drag you to the camp We'll cut you up like those lying tramps Who said that Arnold grabbed their tits The fürer will make you all his bitch DIE! Austrian poison gas From Jorg Haider's secret stash Americans have grown so dense Democracy triumphes over common sense! Democracy triumphes over common sense! California Uber Alles! (etc.) (Seig Heil to Arnold Schwartzenegger!) Lyrics copyright 2003 by Aaron Seeman (Duckmandu) with assistance from Gabriel Ferreira Appologies to Jello Biafra, John Greenway, DK | |

Let's have a war! We could all use the money! Let's have a war! We need the space! Let's have a war! Clean out this place! It already started in the city! Suburbia will be just as easy! [Chorus] Let's have a war! Jack up the Dow Jones! Let's have a war! It can start in New Jersey! Let's have a war! Blame it on the middle-class! Let's have a war! We're like rats in a cage! It already started in the city! Suburbia will be just as easy! [Chorus] Let's have a war! Sell the rights to the networks! Let's have a war! Let our wallets get fat like last time! Let's have a war! Give guns to the queers! Let's have a war! The enemy's within! It already started in the city! Suburbia will be just as easy! [Chorus x2] | |
