I love BushLeaguer... so very well done!

Let Me Be.. by.. Xavier Rudd - dig this:

Time and time and time we see
these acts against humanity
each for each and each will bleed
and shed blood for what they each believe...

red hot lyrics accompaning red hot music...
You may conquer a sword but you are conquered by a kiss...

    As far as political songs go, I love Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello.

    Truly one of the great political songs and Costello just tears it up on that song. This one stanza of the song makes it legendary on its own, but the whole song is incredible.

    There was a Checkpoint Charlie
    He didn't crack a smile
    But it's no laughing party
    When you've been on the Murder Mile
    Only takes one itchy trigger
    One more widow
    One less white nigger
    one foot in the door
    the other foot in the gutter
    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother

    Great Song!!!!! Prehaps one of the best protest songs from the last decade!!!!

    One of the best political/protest songs of all time is "Biko" by Peter Gabriel with "Ohio" by CSNY a close second.

    I don't know if this is a political song as much as it's an anti-hatred, pro-togetherness, pro-environment song, but I absolutely love this song:

    Earthmover by Tesla

    Or how about Hands All Over by Soundgarden?

    Is there some reason I don't know about this song?

    Holy shit! You just shot to #1 on the PJ Message Pit Members ranking in my book :D This is my favorite song by Costello, ever. Fwiw, Armed Forces is my fav album by him as well.

    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    It wasn't on any studio (or live, I dont think) albums but it was written for the Godzilla soundtrack. You can check out the vid here:
