the link I posted is metal gear solid song that i wanted to play at a protest. It’s not necessarily a protest song its about turning away the torment’s of your heart and turning towards eternal joy, but the Gaelic lyrics does make me thing of the songs that were written by all the conquered people throughout history and how those would make great anti war songs.

I do want songs about working class solidarity that are modern. I’ve picked up Iran ai lego songs, they’re actually pretty good and the lyrics are pretty good, I haven’t found any quite on the level, the Iranians go hard on trump.

seems like all the anti war songs are not from this decade and anti ice is lacking.

here are some songs I’ve picked out for protest for protest:

MACKLEMORE - HIND’S HALL 2 (feat. Anees, MC Abdul, Amer Zahr)

The Genocide That Is Not Over | Iranian LEGO War-Themed Video By Akhbarenfejari

Les Misérables | Do You Hear the People Sing?

IT AINT GONNA GO AWAY - ODE TO THE EPSTEIN FILES

Billionaire Buffet (feat. Kasane Teto)

    • Waterparks - Ice
    • Badflower - Machine Gun
    • Seb Lowe - Don’t say no to Hitler
    • Moon Walker - You’re next
    • Grandson - Little White Lies
    • Grandson - Brainrot
    • Against me! - Baby, I’m an anarchist!
    • Harris J - Hourriya
    • Flanger Moose - Fascists don’t have friends
    • Springsteen - Streets of Minneapolis
    • Gus the Bardic troubador - GTFO
    • Devil Said Jump - Make me buy a gun
    • Palaceburn - And you wonder why they kneel

    The discographies of Grandson, Moon Walker, and Dropkick Murphys have a lot of good, recent, messages. Pussy Riot has a couple of generic and America themed songs as well. Otep has several, though they are more fueled by reaction than actual artistic talent.

    I wouldn’t rule out older titles from the Vietnam or Coal Wars/Battle of Blaire Mountain Era.
