PROTEST & REBELLION SONGS.."get it off your chest"
The only stipulation here is that the song should be commentary, controversial, expressing a rebellious, protesting "frame of mind"; generally, or speciffically, about society, culture, economics, wealth, poverty, politics, war, peace, relationships, etc, etc, etc.
How about some songs which, when you heard them, you thought, "Yeh, those lyrics tell it like it is!" or maybe you were offended by the controversial lyrics.
Your song selection may be from any time period in history and about any topic you choose, old songs and new songs.
Please be free to post protest & rebellion songs which either you agreed with or which "honked" you off.
Here is an opportunity to "Get it off your chest!" Go ahead and briefly include memorable lyrics of the song if you like [ if you remember 🙂 ]
To begin.....here's a protest song: Subterranean Homesick Blues Bob Dylan

All American Boy: Bill Parsons, actually sung by Bobby Bare (son rebels against father because he’s a square and doesn’t dig rock and roll; leaves home for Memphis where they say you all to find his fortune. A thinly-veiled story of Elvis’ road to fame).

@l483260l Woody Guthrie composed "This Land Is Your Land" in 1940.
Per Wikipedia: When Guthrie was tired of hearing Kate Smith sing "God Bless America" on the radio in the late 1930s, he sarcastically called his song "God Blessed America for Me" before renaming it "This Land Is Your Land."

A bit of a stretch, perhaps, (A bigger stretch than I planned! I could have sworn I moved this to the Travel thread! Sorry!), but I loved this song and enjoyed singing it:
"When I Stop Leaving (I'll Be Gone)" Charley Pride
And two by a band that was pretty popular, back a while ago (and I sang the first one):
"Ride the Train", and "Roll On, 18 Wheeler" Alabama

@ripvanwinkle96 Midnight Oil's entire repertoire. And how about them taking a haitus so Peter Garrett could serve in Australia's government? Gotta love that.
