Does anyone else out there miss the quality lyric wise of music from the late sixties and seventies? It seems to me that music used to be a personal cry and that it's been watered down to nothing by the cookiecutter-agents. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places! If you know of any recent war or system protest songs, then tell me, please!
Pennywise - Fight Til You Die Look all around you there's a war that's going on A struggle against the odds that's breaking out and must be won They're getting ready with the weapons they have found Take inspiration from the sound See it in the faces of the people everyday We need to take control and find some ammo right away our cause is righteous and we're gonna have our say Get ready for the judgement day Go ahead and try Or kiss your ass goodbye People of society are running for their lives Get up now and go Or you're never gonna know Never gonna make it in your houses lying low Give it one good try Give it all and fight till you die A puppet government their dying in the streets Families are breaking up cause underpaids can't make ends meet The establishment has put their money underground Cause they all know what's coming down A lucky precious few with money in their banks Can't imagine what it's like to find yourself in homeless ranks They've got no conscience for the ones who won't survive The time for payback has arrived All alone in your own society outside are the cries of lives in misery and evil plot of false democracy subjugating souls just dying to be free I don't know if you're into fast paced punk music but I think lyric wise this song matches your request...Pennywise has a lot of songs like this.
stop watching mtv and turn off the radio. theres every kind of music imaginable being made right now, it didnt die with the 60s.

check out Bright Eyes, my man.... we must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web we must rip out all the epilogues from the books that we have read and in the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair we must stare, we must stare, we must stare we must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell and in the ear of every anarchist that sleeps but doesn't dream we must sing, we must sing, we must sing (it'll go like this, alright) while my mother waters plants, my father loads his gun he says death will give us back to god just like the setting sun is returned to the lonesome ocean we must blend into the choir; sing ecstatic with the whole we must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul and in this endless race from property and privilege to be won we must run, we must run, we must run we must hang up in the belfry where the bats in moonlight laugh we must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past and in the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love we must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge and then we'll get down there... you know way down to the very bottom of everything and we'll see it oh we'll see it we'll see it all my morning is coming back the whole world is waking up with the city buses swimming past I'm happy just because I've found out I am really no one
