What are some of your favorite politically minded, or protest songs, in any genre?

A couple of my favorites are "Ohio", by CSN&Y, and "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall", by Bob Dylan.

I have generally interpreted this great one as relevant to the thread title.

Not sure if this is a protest song but it is a song of defiance. Country Boys Can Survive - by Hank Williams jr.

[Coyote]

We the people, hand in hand,
We, the people, understand,
That there's an answer, there's a way,
We, the people, have to say,
So, send the orders to prepare,
We, the people, do declare,
Send the good news, send the word,
We, the people, will be heard,
We, the people, everywhere.
