[Ordacleaphobia]

Pennywise's Fuck Authority

Came to post this.
But since I'm here, I suppose this counts:

 

[MaxOfMetal]

 

[MFB]

Not so typical political song, but as someone who likes animals more than people (and especially politicians) this one gets me

 

[zappatton2]

Can I announce my runner-up as literally every Dead Kennedys song?

[Ralyks]

Queensryche: Operation Mindcrime

Dammit, I feel like a shmuck for not posting this.

Oh well, does Empire count?

[High Plains Drifter]

It most certainly counts!

Didn't expect to see some RTJ dropped in here, but absolutely agree with it

If war is a political issue then this:



And... I agree with one youtube comment that these are some of the best lyrics ever written:

We've got what we want,ask anyone
But war is still war, it's medicine
The wind's at our back when we attack
'Cause God is our man, he understands
The heart, the heart it beats for blood

 

[Smoked Porter]

Not my favorite patriotic tune. I don't even know what "spangled" means

I may or may not have spangled my undies once or twice after eating at questionable Chinese buffets.

Also, obviously:

You and I don't agree on much, but OSI is, in fact, amazing. I slightly prefer their debut to Blood, but both rule, as does Free (though I usually skip the opener).

Spackle > spangle

Not a very well received album but still a great song imo and certainly political enough...

Warrel Dane was never afraid to get political in a lot of his songs:

Nevermore: Inside Four Walls


Sisters of Mercy / Warrel Dane: Lucretia My Reflection


And in modern music, I am currently feeling this Destrage song that tackles xenophobia:

Destrage: Hey, Stranger!

 

[BlackSG91]

Here's a hitting song from the past which sort of speaks for the present.

[aesthyrian]

Destrage - Hosts, Rifles & Coke



Darkest Hour - The Sadist Nation(this song is 16 years old and it pisses me off how it's more relevant now than ever.)

 

[John]

Darkest Hour is quite political with a bunch of their stuff, so that would be my answer.
