  1. #Listening to Superhero by Drew Stephenson, feat. G. Stoner Hilcot. This track is righteous;

    "Chief. Executive. Officer. He so important he got 3 words all mean the same thing. He a 'wealth creator'. A 'wealth creator'. How he doing that? Exactly."

    I found it on a fundraising compilation of protest songs called The Weapon and The Shield (Vol. I);

    “Streets of Minneapolis” by Bruce Springsteen

    “Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice singing through the bloody mist
    We’ll take our stand for this land and the stranger in our midst
    Here in our home they killed and roamed in the winter of ’26
    We’ll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis”

    “Yours Eternally” by U2

    “Don’t sleep
    Don’t even think about it
    No need
    Maybe a little bit
    Still dream
    About waking up free
    As we can be”

    “True Believer” by Hayley Williams

    “They put up chainlink fences underneath the biggest bridges
    They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all their children
    They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face
    So they don’t have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them”

    Hayley Williams

    Heavy Foot” by Mon Rovîa

    “Do you see the man on the screen
    Just a puppet but you never see the strings
    Calling it a war not a genocide
    Telling us it isn’t what it seems
    Man that’s a different kind of greed”

    “The Department of War” by Jesse Welles

    “They appeal to your morals, appeal to your fears
    Say folks far away are a threat to you here
    There’s a malignant tumor in our nation’s guts
    Our own department of defense is a threat to us”

    “No Kings” by Jesse Welles

    “Every color, every culture
    Every language, every creed

    No kings”

    “One Life at a Time” by U2

    Join ICE” by Jesse Welles

    “Well, if you’re lookin’ for purpose in the current circus

    Come with me and put some folks in detention”

    “Boots on the Ground” by Massive Attack and Tom Waits

    “A coal to a diamond, a vote into law
    They Campaign up all the blood they can draw
    Mold your world, a soldier’s just clay
    How much does every soldier weigh?
    Cut you off at the ankles and they throw that away”

    Who Will Stand With Us? by Dropkick Murphys

    “We faced the wrath and felt the pain
    Of the tyrant’s sword or the henchman’s boot
    For another rich man’s gain
    In the endless quest for wealth and power
    They stomp us down with great disdain
    Beneath the false god’s banner
    In the name of all that’s vain”

  3. ALL YOU FASCISTS (Bound to Lose) Music Video #BetteMidler

    The great Woody Guthrie wrote this song many years ago. Some of the words were changed to fit our time.

    In 1944 Saint Woody Guthrie wrote All You Fascists Bound to Lose, and yesterday Bette Midler and friends gave it new life.

    Let’s all sing along, and remember kids, punch a Nazi and eat the rich.

    "When that man is dead and gone" -- Al Bowlly

    Al Bowlly' last recorded song, made two weeks before his death, a duet with Jimmy Mesene of Irving Berlin's satirical song on Hitler.

    Al Bowlly died in London on 17 April 1941. He was killed by a Luftwaffe parachute mine that detonated outside his flat at ten past three in the morning.

  7. "I don’t know if you can tell but we were scream-singing with grief..” “Zombie” by The Cranberries performed in New York by a one-day choir hosted by the Gaia Music Collective. #ResistanceSinging #ProtestSongs #TheCranberries #NoMoreWars

  8. World War Two was the archetypal good war. And ask any liberal, FDR was the archetypal good president. But don't ask Millard Lampell, Lee Hays, Pete Seeger, and Woody Guthrie -- The Almanac Singers.[1] They released Songs for John Doe[2] in 1941 and it's full of anti-draft, anti-war, anti-FDR songs, inspired by the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, the first peacetime conscription law ever enacted in the US.[3]

    And are you afraid to fight, Billy boy, Billy boy?
    Are you afraid to fight, charming Billy?
    You can comе around to me when England's a democracy...

  12. Working on a new one. Not ready yet

    “Take their power, break their power, stop their wars, remake your world”

  13. This song is already old (we released this in 2018) and it is sad that the refrain still rings true

    “nationalistic and fascistic
    narcissistic and sadistic
    tiny hand on the button
    jonesin’ for goin’ ballistic
    authoritarian & un-American
    it’s taking its toll
    its taking too long
    why aren’t you gone”

  16. I learned about Bob Crow from the song named after him by Fit and the Conniptions, from their 2017 album Old Blue Witch;

    bandwagon.fm/677c2a9b5cd233faf

    This is a fun album, full of piss and vinegar. Reminding me in parts of the some of David Rovics, especially his more tongue-in-cheek songs like Burn It Down, and rabble-rousing songs like The Commons and Black Flag Flying.
