The point is to spread awareness and information, if you change something process then good for you but you'll never find out if you don't try in the first place.
If you think that you're gonna change something if you write a protest song then you're naive. You'd be better served to become politically engaged and actually do something rather than just write a little ditty. But I don't really mind protest songs when it's used as a form of expression. I just can't stand holier-than-thou wannabe revolutionaries who're just angsty youngsters with a chip on their shoulders.
