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

(Everything Is) Wonderful - Everclear. Why do parents insist on telling kids what the kids know are lies? And yes, I'm afraid I know the answer. https://youtu.be/MUfgAbFY4CA

I may hate myself for this one, but it is both protest and travel. Don't like things here? Maybe you need to take your: Holiday in Cambodia - The DKs (warning on language).
