Lots of great protest songs. I have been blessed but for years I didn't get a great job because DD214. Until an ex boss put in a word and then I worked same company 37 years. BRUCE!!!!! https://youtu.be/vDCP8m78FhQ?si=8l4g6tGDJbHXTyzE
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, ‘Ohio’
Tragic events of May 4, 1970 when four student protesters were shot dead by National Guard at Kent State University in Ohio. One of the defining songs of the anti-war movement.
I attended KSU in 1974, til this day the song plays across campus on May 4th.
One of my personal favorites from the stage comes from the Musical 1776. This musical does not back away of the truth that our modern GOP is desperate to whitewash. And this song is the core of it.
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
Full Disclosure::: I deleted the first screenshot cuz i was affraid somebody would start spreading it around saying they know him or something so I fckd it up and reposted it 😅💯
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight!
There's so many great protest songs in every genre but Punk has to be king of the protest songs. Its its almost impossible to pick.... if I was asked again tomarrow it might be a different song 😅
#StayPunk
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin’
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’
Killing in the name of - RATM
last part of the lyrics:
[Outro]
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
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
There’s colors on the street
Red, white, and blue
People shuffling their feet
People sleeping in their shoes
There’s a warning sign on the road ahead
There’s a lot of people saying we’d be better off dead
Don’t feel like Satan, but I am to them https://youtu.be/dat8SK0Hw18?si=gPCp0e_1rmCZ46Ct
Won't Get Fooled Again
'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again https://youtu.be/_NzLs-xSss0?si=9kCr37IYeyTpvN2l
