Should we…make a playlist? I’ll add two more.
- Green Day - American Idiot
- CCR - Fortunate Son
- Woodie Guthrie - This Land is Your Land (via @MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net – updated to different version with the “lost” verse)
- System of a Down - Prison Song (BYOB is a close second)
- Descendants - 'Merican (Added from @MermaidsGarden@lemmy.world’s suggestion.)
- John Mellencamp - Little Pink Houses (via @jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org)
- Stone Sour - Come What(ever)
- Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded in Chains (last two via @clearedtoland@lemmy.world)
- Flobots - Handlebars (via @fireweed@lemmy.world)
- NOFX - Idiots are Taking Over (via @HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world)
- Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy (via @middlemanSI@lemmy.world)
- Disturbed - Land of Confusion | Genesis - Land of Confusion (via @GladiusB@lemmy.world)
Adding the “lost verse” for 'This Land is Your Land":
“One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple,
by the relief office I saw my people.
As they stood hungry,
I stood there wondering if God blessed America for me.”
Would be remiss in not including a version of This Land is Your Land that includes the oft-omitted verses.
This version seems to have all of the verses. Sweet!
The Times They Are A-Changin (Bob Dylan) and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (Gil Scott-Heron) are also classics.

Can’t believe I forgot this one - South Park did a fantastic job bringing Sixteen Tons into the modern era.
Rage against the machine - Know your enemy seems relevant. Also maybe Freedom
Handlebars by Flobots, White America by Eminem
You should make this a separate thread!
Bush-era (same as American Idiot) but shockingly still relevant. Too heavy for this list?
Not at all; it’s the messages that are important. I mean, I already put SOAD on there, so… lol
Land of Confusion would be another addition. I’m in favor of the Disturbed version.
