Libertarian Bands (And Songs?)

YouTube - Sepultura - Refuse/Resist - Q Audio


Chaos A.D.
Tanks on the streets
Confronting police
Bleeding the Plebs
Raging crowd
Burning cars
Bloodshed starts
Who'll be alive?!

Chaos A.D.
Army in siege
Total alarm
I'm sick of this
Inside the state
War is created
No man's land
What is this shit?!

Refuse/Resist
Refuse

Chaos A.D.
Disorder unleashed
Starting to burn
Starting to lynch
Silence means death
Stand on your feet
Inner fear
Your worst enemy

Refuse/Resist
Refuse/Resist
 
Somebody mentioned Iced Earth....their guitarist also has a side project called Sons of Liberty. Lol they even have a song called 'The Creature from Jekyll Island".
 
Probably should add that lots of bands have anti war songs but that does not make them libertarian. Plenty of anti war people have no problem with using violence to solve domestic problems.
 
Crass is the father band of anarchist punk. I would have posted some anti-flag as well but that's already up, but I think Crass is more anarchist and leftist than anti-flag.

Wow, a Crass fan! Glad to see some other people here who listen to punk!
 
How Humans tend to worship "artists" and think they know better than us is something that puzzles me. If one has an understanding of History and what is really going on, one comes to the conclusion that the "artistic class" are some of the most easily dupped, corrupted, arrogant, elitist people around.

I couldnt care less about "artists" and their "message".
 
The Exploited: Alternative.

YouTube - The Exploited -- Alternative

Something's happened what's gone wrong
Going down the dole got to sign on
Millions of kids with nothing to do
You better watch out they're after you

Alternative
I don't wanna join the army
Alternative
I know it's a waste of time
Alternative
No alternative is what they say
Alternative
The choice is mine

Politicians what do they care
They're all money grabbers they're after their share
They don't give a shit if you get shot
Cause there ain't no way they'll be there

Do you really want to die
Alternative
Kill other people just to survive
Alternative
Only the dead have their freedom
Alternative
It's the living that's got to suffer most
Alternative
 
D.O.A: WWIII

YouTube - D.O.A - World War 3

WW III, WW III, WW III, don't you bloody see? WW III
It doesn't matter what you say, you won't make it no bleedin way
You haven't got any choice, you really haven't got any voice
Preventive measures have been taken, it'll really help against
nuclear rapin
No streets, no people, left on the land, the policy ran out on our
plan
That's right...
World war, lotsa fun
People in a panic, on the run
World war, lotsa fun
White House is aimin the gun
World war, lotsa fun
People in a panic on the run
World war, lotsa fun
The kremlin's aimin the gun
We're pawns in the middle, sittin ducks with no acquittal
They're gonna make us fight, protectin oil is our right
Unlock them now on the flag deck, Soviet bombers you're gonna net
It's breakin up the Richter scale, bombs away, they're gonna sail
No human lives stand in the way, cause we're on our way to a new
clear day
That's right...
CHORUS
I really don't want to die, World War III
With A-bombs droppin from the sky, World War III
Don't give me your reasons why, World War III
Just know I don't wanna die, World War III
Give'em any chance they're gonna take it, give'em any rules they're
gonna
break it
It really ain't no riddle, I just know it ain't gonna be little
We haven't got a clue on what we're gonna do
So we're just pawns in the middle, sittin ducks with no acquittal
End up dead, end up dead, end up dead
End up dead, end up dead
World War III, World War III, World War III, World War III
Give'em any chance they're gonna take it, give'em any rules they're
break it
It doesn't matter what flag you hoist, you really haven't got any
choice
No human lives stand in the way, cause we're on our way to a new
clear day
We're just pawns in the middle, sittin ducks with no acquittal
World war, world war
World war, I don't want it
World war, I don't need it
World war, I won't take it
World war, world war, world war


Screeching Weasel: My right

YouTube - Screeching Weasel - My Right
My right to say what I want
And think the way I wanna think
My right I wanna speak my mind
My right to yell my right to scream
My right no one's ever gonna
Tell me what I have to do
I'll live my life the way I want
I don't care about your little world
And I can't believe you're telling me
What's good for me how do you know what's good?
And I can't believe you're telling me
What to believe, get away from me - my right
No matter what I do, to you
Is one big mistake
Well I'm sick of you I know I'm right
You sleazy money grubbing fake
My right my life my soul my mind
My body my existence means
That I don't have to listen to you
It's my right cause I'm a human being

Twisted Sister has alot of songs with libertarian lyrics.

Steppenwolf wrote some very libertarian songs.

Iron Maiden has some songs that have a libertarian feel, notably "The Prisoner", also some songs critical of politicians, such as "Be Quick Or Be Dead" and "The Age Of Innocence"

Judas Priest have many songs with a "butt out of my business" theme, like Grinder, You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise, and Beyond The Realms of Death

Sanctuary/Nevermore write many anti government songs.

And has been mentioned, Rush.


This isn't really a "libertarian" song per se, but it's definitely a pretty chilling warning against the surveillance state:



Electric Eye
Judas Priest



Up here in space
I'm looking down on you.
My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time.

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.

I'm elected electric spy
I['m] protected electric eye.

Always in focus
' can't feel my stare.
I zoom into you
But you don't know I'm there.
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.

I'm elected electric spy
I['m] protected electric eye.

Solo

Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
[There]'s nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows.

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.

I'm elected electric spy
I['m] protected electric eye.
I'm elected electric spy
I'm elected
Protected. Detective. Electric eye.
 
Molotov Solution

I don't know how into death metal this forum is, but Molotov Solution is a very libertarian band. They have lyrics that deal with markets and the fed. This song is basically about Obama being a puppet and a deciever. Read the lyrics, it's good stuff.

It's a matter of the artist being able to make subjective points in a way that is aesthetically pleasing-something that can't be done in other media. Verdi is still a hero in Italy to this day because his operas told immortal truths. (there used to be a common phrase in Italy, "Viva Verdi!". Vittorio Emanuele Re D'Italia-Victor Emmanuel King of Italy-referring to Victor Emmanuel II, then king of Sardinia.)

I'll have you know that I am an artist and I resent your rude, collectivist remarks.:p (though some artists are very worthy of such insults, especially Hollywood and TV elites)

IOW, the arts are an important way that society understands reality. Mere words are not enough.
 
Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd) has some great anti-war/anti-establishment/anti-media songs. He is against Capitalism though.
Check these albums out:

The Final Cut - Pink Floyd
Radio K.A.O.S - Roger Waters
Amused Themselves to Death - Roger Waters

Another great anti-war song:
To Kill a Child - Roger Waters
