What are your favorite activist songs, which encourage people to change their views or their ways?

They might be songs about appreciating baldness, being vegetarian , the problems with democracy...or whatever issue you like.
I like this thread.



This song is about a taboo subject that many in the mainstream don't like; expanding capital punishment to include sex offenders. It's hard to disagree with any band that wants to hang paedo scum.



A wonderful song about the flood of illegal immigrants. "Put up a fence/close down the border" is a wonderful refrain, and speaks to the reality that these people don't want to integrate into our society but rather seek to make it more like the 3rd world hellholes they come from.

School is like a 12 step brainwash camp
They make you think if you drop out you ain't got a chance
To advance in life, they try to make you pull your pants up
Students fight the teachers and get took away in handcuffs

I heard this song about a month ago

I was talking to this teacher on Martin Luther King Jr.'s anniversary of him being assassinated and she was running at the mouth claiming that the kids in our city if they don't go to college then they are just going to drop out and go to prison.

I'm like wtf? is this the kind of fear mongering that they are expressing to kids nowadays.

Not everyone is college bound and you can get by in life without a college education.

^no. Their attempts to be activists were void when they apologised for the comments that they had every right to say.

"Not Ready to Make Nice" is irrelevent when you already did.

I love this somber anti-war song which has clever lyrics (although humans aren't monkeys, so *really* the lyrics should say "ape killing ape over pieces of the ground" ) and a great build-up of sound. Sometimes it gives me chills:

Tool - "Right in Two"
