the link I posted is metal gear solid song that i wanted to play at a protest. It’s not necessarily a protest song its about turning away the torment’s of your heart and turning towards eternal joy, but the Gaelic lyrics does make me thing of the songs that were written by all the conquered people throughout history and how those would make great anti war songs.
I do want songs about working class solidarity that are modern. I’ve picked up Iran ai lego songs, they’re actually pretty good and the lyrics are pretty good, I haven’t found any quite on the level, the Iranians go hard on trump.
seems like all the anti war songs are not from this decade and anti ice is lacking.
here are some songs I’ve picked out for protest for protest:
MACKLEMORE - HIND’S HALL 2 (feat. Anees, MC Abdul, Amer Zahr)
The Genocide That Is Not Over | Iranian LEGO War-Themed Video By Akhbarenfejari
Les Misérables | Do You Hear the People Sing?
Bigg Jus aka Lune T.N.S . “Poor Peoples Day”
Cobra Skulls - Cobracoustic
You should look up some old labor movement songs
I don’t know if this quite fits all the remit, but, it’s what came to mind:
Pacific’s Break Your Social System:
Mass destruction - Faithless
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction Whether you’re soar away sun or BBC 1 Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian Racism is a weapon of mass destruction Whether inflation or globalization Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone Greed is a weapon of mass destruction We need to find courage, overcome Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Woody Guthrie~ All You Fascists Bound To Lose
About half of Jesse Welles songs fit here.
-God Abraham and Xanax -Red -Join ICE -Walmart -Don’t blow the whistle -War isn’t murder -Great Caucasian god -The poor -No Kings
Satronica, Unexist - Fuck The System
Party Animals - Die Nazi Scum
Anti-Flag - Die for the government, NOFX - Idiots are taking over, NOFX - 72 Hookers, Jesse Welles - Join Ice
Internationale
I can’t reccomend moon walker enough.
“Youre next” is their new song. I think its very topical
Some of my favorites in no particular order: Monopoly money, Ban this song, Apocalypticism.
Rise Against - Hero of war
Not a “play at protests”-song, but powerful nevertheless
A lot of Rise Against song could fit this
man that rise against song is depressing af…
Bob Dylan - Masters of War
