You know it's much more critical than that That couldn't turn tricks in the courthouse 'Cause it's a crime to be broke in America!Īnd it's a crime to smoke dank in America! It all depends which side the tracks your on. You take the staircase to the first floorĪnd through the walls you hear the city groanĪcross the field you see the sky ripped openĪnd "Mothers Of The Dissappeared" is also a great one about the mothers of death squad victims Through the alleys of a quiet city street In the locust wind comes a rattle and humĪcross the mud huts where the children sleep In the howling wind comes a stinging rain "Bullet The Blue Sky" by U2 is a song about the effects of U.S foregin policy in Latin America during the 1980s.especially El Salvador.įorget about the album version and get an MP3 of it performed live. Nothing to doubt, nothing left to wait forįrom the Thresher and the Pueblo and the Titanic Reckoning Day, nothing left to believe in Reckoning Day, put your pennies where they count Reckoning Day, put the money in the mattress
This is a call to the voices and the minds Out of my way, hot rocking on Reckoning DayĪll the critics and the things they write Well l was thinking about Abraham Lincoln
View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Please be specific with band name and song (album is cool too but not needed for me to dl them View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif ) A description and why it is important to you would be excellent as well.Īlbum: The Good News and the Bad News by The Rainmakers.Īny spelling errors are the fault of Omni. My personal favorites are pretty much anything from Rage Against the Machine (how can you truly listen and love that band without sharing their philosophy?) Ben Harper has some good stuff as well (Oppression and Hey Mister I can remember off hand) It could be a song about Mumia or Leonard Peltier or the situation in Chiapas or oppression or discrimination (sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) or whatever. What songs about social injustice do you enjoy the most? This is a pretty broad subject so feel free to interpret it in any way. Ranging from the slave trade to Columbus to his experiences as a Latino/American to other minorities in America and the pain and suffering they have gone through. Koeninger who is the author of A Democracy of Ghosts (anyone read it ?)īasically, A Democracy of Ghosts is a collection of his poetry about social injustices. I'm taking History 204 (American Ideals and Institutions) at Cal Poly right now.
