My favorite political moments from rock/pop

Joni Mitchell, "Woodstock"
Simon and Garfunkel, "The Sound of Silence"
Bob Dylan, "The Times They Are A'Changin"
Jackson Browne, "Before the Deluge"
quote:
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw a thousand jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation
Simon and Garfunkel, "The Sound of Silence"
quote:
"Fools," said I, "You do not know –
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
Bob Dylan, "The Times They Are A'Changin"
quote:
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
Jackson Browne, "Before the Deluge"
quote:
Some of them were angry
At the way the earth was abused
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
And they struggled to protect her from them
Only to be confused
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge

Henley/Hornsby, "End of the Innocence"
quote:
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie

Henley appeared to be upset with the Reagan administration.

Tin soldiers and Nixons coming
we're finally on our own.
4 dead in Ohio

Rush-Trees
quote:
There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream 'Oppression!'
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
'The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light'
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe and saw

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You’ve thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain’t worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I’m young
You might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know
Though I’m younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death’ll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand o’er your grave
’Til I’m sure that you’re dead

Looks like "moments" are stretching into full-length episodes.

Toby Keith- "Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue"
quote:
'Cause we'll put a boot in your arse
It's the American way

Love that Toby Keith song

Just because I disagree with his politics, doesn't mean I can't enjoy the song.
In a similar vein - an uncharacteristically political message from my favorite band:
Def Leppard, "Gods of War"
quote:
Feelin' like it's all over
Feelin' like there's no love
Feelin' like it's not easy
Breathin' life in the dust
On a countdown to zero
Take a ride on the nightmare machine
There ain't gonna be heroes
There ain't gonna be anythin'
Here it comes here comes the night
Here it comes hell in the night
Here it comes here comes the night
(When we all fall down)
When we walk into silence
When we shadow the sun
When we surrender to violence
Then the damage is done
(Put away that gun)
I don't want to be there
I don't wanna be anywhere
*****
We're fightin' for the gods of war
But what the hell we fightin' for
Yeah fightin' with the gods of war
And I ain't gonna fight no more
Stop fightin' for the gods of war
Yeah what in the hell we fightin' for
We're fightin' for the gods of war

Just nine lucky soldiers had come
Through the night
Half of them wounded
And barely alive
Just nine out of twenty was headed for home
With eleven sad stories to tell
Anyone want to take a guess who sang it?

Took me quite some time to appreciate Rush... that voice was soooo hard to overcome.

Now THERE'S a great singing voice.

I agree. But Neal Peart's writing skills and the entire band's musician skills are up there with the best.

Rise Against, "Hero of War"
Pink Floyd, "The Fletcher Memorial Home"
quote:
A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
It's the only flag I trust
Pink Floyd, "The Fletcher Memorial Home"
quote:
The Fletcher memorial
Home for incurable tyrants and kings
And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit t.v.
To make sure they're still real
It's the only connection they feel
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Reagan and Haig
Mr. Begin and friend Mrs. Thatcher and Paisley
Mr. Brezhnev and party
The ghost of McCarthy
The memories of Nixon
And now adding colour a group of anonymous Latin-American meat packing glitterati"
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect
They can polish their medals and sharpen their
smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for a while
Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead
Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
With their favourite toys
They'll be good girls and boys
In the fletcher memorial home for colonial
Wasters of life and limb

Pink Floyd, "The Gunner's Dream" (words and music by Roger Waters)
quote:
A place to stay
"Oi! A real one ..."
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children anymore.
And no one kills the children anymore.
