Libertarian Bands (And Songs?)

[Wesker1982]

Wow, those are some great lyrics. Too bad fat mike seems to be an advocate for socialism, in many other songs. I presume he would describe himself as an anarcho-socialist.

Yeah, it makes me wonder why they made that song at all. Great song though.

 

[AGRP]

What makes a band "libertarian" unless they explicitly state they are?

A lot of bands who dare to speak/sing out against the state oddly appear only when a Republican is in office. Not saying they're Libertarian, but what happened to RATM and Green Day? I think GD disappeared once Obama started is term. GD appears to be more statist than anything. RATM seems libertarian.

I'm not sure about political affiliation, but Killswitch Engage's 'Breaking the Silence' seems tailor made for the RP Revolution. Throwing off the shackles of apathy, realizing true change starts with you, breaking the silence. Tearing down the existing system and rebuilding.. look up the lyrics, it's an awesome song. Albeit, a bit heavy for some.

I really wish there was a libertarian version of Rage Against the Machine - nothing fires me up quite like them...it's a shame that they're a bunch of Reds

[dannno]

Meh.

Word is born
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence
With the D the E the F the I the A the N the C the E
Mind of a revolutionary
So clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What?
The land of the free?
Whoever told you that is your enemy

Now something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
So rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em

Now action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in

I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of sick of sick of sick of you
Time has come to pay...
Know your enemy!

Come on!
Yes I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams

pennywise has a lot of songs promoting the individual and against government tyranny and authority for the sake of authority. i think the singer is pretty libertarian, the drummer is a loudmouth and pretty leftist though I think, which comes out in a couple of their songs (like an anti-gun song).

My own country
lyrics for my own country:
Fools run the government sick foreign policy
Their words sound valiant but their hands are green
Unending quest for power Taxes that make us slaves
Don't believe a word of it ignore the fucked up things they say
I'm gonna make it on my own Dictator on a throne
Make my own philosophy U.S. of me
A citizen who's really pissed United Anarchists
Give me death or liberty I am my own country
United States Confederate of Me
Old whigs in parliament play bedroom politics
Salacious stories make them look obscene
Spin on your nemesis fill up the news today
Don't believe a word of it not all the fucked up things they say
it's ail me No secret police

Fight till you die <-- such an awesome song!
Fuck Authority
Living for today

 

[Wesker1982]

Pure Commies.

Yep.

Didn't they just not long ago put on a show in support of some tyrannical government program? I can't remember which one it was, but I remember loling.

Good time to bring up this I guess for anyone who hasn't seen it:

Jake Kellen is a country-western singer who did a song for Ron Paul in 2007. I mixed a video on top of it. It's down there in my signature.

I particularly like the high-speed video bit about the zeppelin.

Sons Of Liberty

 

[PreDeadMan]

lol rage against the machine i know the message may be sort of communist or left leaning but.... i love the music and some songs you try to forget what the band is about and concentrate on the lyrics like killing in the name of "fuck you i wont do what you tell me!" sort of an anti authority message that's the sort of thing i like. My band does cover RATM the song bombtrack though i don't care if they are commies or socialists i still like the music lol. I mean i'm pretty much anti violence also and i like cannibal corpse and bands that sing about killing people and crazy stuff but i'm a peaceful person doesn't really matter honestly lol.

I know. Obviously we are not going to agree 100% politically with bands. If we are going to be that picky with bands on political and economic issues we might as well listen to the birds chirping outside.

[xFiFtyOnE]

This. Not my style but a band.
I heard rumors Tom Araya of Slayer supports RP. Would be awesome.

 

[KurtBoyer25L]

Blues Traveler. Ugh. It's like a two-chord, wonky music box that loops for hours at a slow or fast speed.

TSOL (True Sounds of Liberty) always claimed to be Libertarians, but they also wrote anarcho-communist songs like "Property is Theft." I suppose if you listen selectively you can find some chill liberty punk-anthems in their records.
