    heres a few newer protest songs that you guys should check out, they arent brand new but they are still good ones.............. :)

    Beastie Boys - In a World Gone Mad
    "This song is not an anti-American or pro-Saddam Hussein statement. This is a statement against an unjustified war."
    *
    Spearhead - Bomb Da World
    "You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into peace." ​
    *
    Public Enemy - Son of a Bush
    More anti-Bush than anti-war, this song was first released in 2002. A protest of the US government under G.W. Bush, the song speaks to the anger many people feel over the war with Iraq.​

    Outkast - B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)
    This song from the 2000 CD Stankonia is an angry lament about the price of war.

    Check out System of a Down.

    But the first song that came to my mind was Dana Lyon's "A Drop of Water". You can find it on his page at cowswithguns.com i guess. Awesome song!

    hehe, quoting myself! :D
    I would sure like to hear this song recorded properly! I find the lyrics nice (i think one might even if he would not agree with it).

    Faithless are at it too...


    "With a long range weapon or suicide bomber
    Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
    Whether you're stowaway's son or BBC 1
    Dis-information is a weapon of mass destruction

    You could a caucasian or a poor asian
    Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
    Whether inflation or globalisation
    Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

    Whether Haliburton, Enron or anyone
    Greed is a weapon of mass destruction"


    Not the best song like.
