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

"Hippie Chick" by Soho, 1990, one of the best dance tunes ever written, is a pro-union song. She's dumping him because he's anti-union, and announcing she won't be a peaceful hippie chick.

The Liberty Song 1768 A place to find protest songs from the American revolution.
The lyrics got my blood going. If I could go back in time it would be here. At the era of the American revolution

Scotland the Brave



Scotland's blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs are piled,
Towering in grandeur are dearer tae me,
Land of the misty cloud land of the tempest loud,
Land of the brave and proud land of the free.
Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains,
The spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free,
