Metal Gear Solid - The Best is Yet to Come with Lyrics
www.youtube.com
I DO NOT OWN THIS MUSIC.A famous song heard throughout the first Metal Gear Solid game.Language: GaelicLyrics Source: http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/The_Bes...

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?

IT AINT GONNA GO AWAY - ODE TO THE EPSTEIN FILES

Billionaire Buffet (feat. Kasane Teto)

    Grandson’s most recent album (INERTIA) is really good. Violence by Kid Kapichi is a banger too. WHO’S THE ENEMY from Grandson is very very good and has Bob Vylan on it.

    So I bought a rechargeable karaoke machine. One with large wattage and a wireless microphone.

    It has a strap so you can wear it like a messenger bag. Thing is great for protests.
    I use an old iPod with it.

    And I let people use the mic to lead chants.

    I bought it used on the eBay. Important thing is make sure it’s at or near 30W. Otherwise it’s not going to be very loud. I’ll post a pic of mine but it’s not made anymore and the newer models are 15W. Also it fits in a backpack. Barely but it does.

    I got some of these songs from similar posts as yours. I try to keep variety on the playlist so everyone can enjoy the music.

          I checked and someone has this one on eBay. $45 with shipping…

          This thing is hella loud.
          I never can run it at full volume at protests.

          Have yet to run out of battery either.

          It does have a big rainbow led light on the front but you can turn it off to save power.

          There are other brands too of course and there might be better options.

          I do have a 15w anker speaker that’s nice to pack to the beach or park or something but it can’t get even half as loud as this green one does.

          Plus the microphone sounds way better than those muddy megaphones. I Used it a lot more than I thought I would.

          I felt like a news anchor. Every time I’d see someone trying to lead a chant or a speech id run over. Hand them the mic and hold up the speaker.

          (Fyi The gray things on the mic are added. Protect it if it’s dropped. They don’t come with it)

    Burn the house down by AJR https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UnyLfqpyi94

    Used to keep it cool.
    Used to be a fool.
    All about the bounce in my step.
    Watch it on the news.
    Whatcha gonna do?
    I could hit refresh and forget.
    Used to keep it cool.
    Should I keep it light?
    Stay out of the fight?
    No one’s gonna listen to me.
    If I write a song.
    Preaching what is wrong.
    Will they let me sing on TV?
    Should I keep it light?
    Is that right?

    Way up way up we go.
    Been up and down that road.
    Way up way up, oh no.
    We gon’ burn the whole house down.
    Watch me stand in the line.
    You’re only serving lies.
    You’ve got something to hide.
    We gon’ burn the whole house down.
    We gon’ burn the whole house down.
    Yeah, used to let it go.

    Walk into the show.
    Gawking at the tricks up your sleeve.
    Too good to be true.
    But I’m in a room.
    Full of entertainers and thieves.
    Used to let it go.
    Woah, oh no.
    (Woah, oh no).

    Way up way up we go.
    Been up and down that road.
    Way up way up, oh no.
    We gon’ burn the whole house down.
    Watch me stand in the line.
    You’re only serving lies.
    You’ve got something to hide.
    We gon’ burn the whole house down.
    We gon’ burn the whole house down.

    Should I hang my head low?
    Should I bite my tongue?
    Or should I march with every stranger.
    From Twitter to get shit done?
    Used to hang my head low.
    Now I hear it loud.
    Every stranger from Twitter is gonna burn this down.

    Way up way up we go.
    Been up and down that road.
    Way up way up, oh no.
    We gon’ burn the whole house down.
    Watch me stand in the line (whoa oh).
    You’re only serving lies (yeah).
    You’ve got something to hide.
    We gon’ burn the whole house down.
    Woah oh, yeah.
    We gon’ burn the whole house down.
    We burn it down, we burn it down.
    We gon’ burn the whole house down

        Even though the use of “Twitter” is outdated. It also kind of Still works.

        Because the original users of Twitter have mostly left.

        It’s definitely very catchy and has relevant lyrics.

      It’s fine just interesting like past generations were really about protest songs. Artist now don’t seem to do protest or social commentary

    If it’s punk yer wantin, you’ll want Dead Kennedys and MDC - both old bands (MDC is still kicking as I understand it, tho) but lots and lots of highly relevant stuff.

    Notable: on their first LP, Millions Of Dead Cops, which came out in 1984 if I recall correctly, there is a trans-positive tune called America’s So Straight. You wanna talk ahead of the curve…

    A few suggestions:

    • Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall
    • RATM - Bulls on Parade
    • Dead Kennedys - Kill the Poor

    And for a more optimistic, but still defiant take, R.E.M.'s Living Well is the Best Revenge.
