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)

    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.
