Good point. I love A7x. Although they have some songs that aren't political. Scream is a good example. Or A Little Piece of Heaven.

Everything is political. People are still trying to figure out the lyrics of American Pie. The domestic terrorists in the 60's and 70's took the name of a Dylan song and became the "Weatherman". Did "Puff the Magic Dragon" have a double meaning? Has patriotism become a bad word? Is "Proud to be an American" offensive to some Americans?
You serious?
There has never been a time when there wasn't political music, except before there was politics.

No I am not serious at all. There are a lot of people attacking Political Music today. Just like there are a lot of people attacking actors/actresses.
The question was facetious but was a solid question to some.

To dig deeper into music, let's explore the Rap vs. Country Music lyrics.
Rap music use to be music of the oppressed class. But we saw a transition from Chain gang, to first of the month, and today it teaches that superficiality is not human based but profit based.
Country music hasn't changed much though. They/me are generally/typically Conservative. Yet nearly every single Country song today is about alcohol. Why? If we are Christians, what does alcohol have to do with it? NO link, just listen to Country music and note when they mention drinking alcohol. I like beer too, but wonder why Country music is turning into a Corporate machine of "It's ok you are poor, drink alcohol and expect less from your life".
Today, Rap music is now setting a better example than Country music. How is this possible!
I wondered when a strong Country person would attack the standard and when compass came out I was happy, happy, happy.
all of my questions are rhetorical and know why. $

Love these lyrics.
Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR, transmissions will resume
They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that, we will never see the truth around
(So come on)
Another promise, another seed
Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the, green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on
Interchanging mind control
Come let the, revolution takes its toll
If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that, we should never be afraid to die
(So come on)
Rise up and take the power back
It's time the, fat cats had a heart attack
You know that, their time's coming to an end
We have to, unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on
