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?
The whole “American Idiot” album applies here, I think.
this is my favorite one by stereolab, it is called ‘ping pong’ and it’s really sarcastic when it comes to war and capitalism

There’s only millions that lose their jobs And homes and sometimes accents There’s only millions that die In their bloody wars, it’s alright
Internationale
Anti-Flag - Die for the government, NOFX - Idiots are taking over, NOFX - 72 Hookers, Jesse Welles - Join Ice
You should look up some old labor movement songs
Honestly I like hear my hope from hazbin hotel as a protest song. The citizens of hell standing up together and finally saying “no, we’ve had enough“ seems especially fitting.
Woody Guthrie~ All You Fascists Bound To Lose
Satronica, Unexist - Fuck The System
Party Animals - Die Nazi Scum
About half of Jesse Welles songs fit here.
-God Abraham and Xanax -Red -Join ICE -Walmart -Don’t blow the whistle -War isn’t murder -Great Caucasian god -The poor -No Kings
Bigg Jus aka Lune T.N.S . “Poor Peoples Day”
Bob Dylan - Masters of War
Cobra Skulls - Cobracoustic
I don’t know if this quite fits all the remit, but, it’s what came to mind:
Pacific’s Break Your Social System:
Mass destruction - Faithless
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction Whether you’re soar away sun or BBC 1 Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian Racism is a weapon of mass destruction Whether inflation or globalization Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone Greed is a weapon of mass destruction We need to find courage, overcome Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
