What would be the perfect theme song for this revolution?

"Shove that warrant up your ass" - GG Allin.

That song is going to get us the 40+ vote. Have you ever heard the Drive-By Truckers song 'The Night GG Allin came to town'. It's hysterical. I think they did a great song about the presidents brain being missing too. Too bad the Truckers are firmly in the grip of the enemy side.
 
Not a candidate for a RP theme song but if GG Allin is in the discussion then....

The President's Penis is Missing by the Drive-By Truckers
(NEWS FLASH!!!) (scene: the press corps have descended upon the White House, a spokesperson begins to speak:)

“They looked in the White House and Capitol Hill
They looked everywhere for Buffalo Bill
We called every scholar, reporter, and genius
Has anyone seen the President’s penis?”

“It ain’t in the Congress or Judiciary
It ain’t in the Smithsonian or that big ole library
an astronomer claims it was sighted on Venus
Has anyone seen the President’s penis?”

(now the entire press corp. erupts in song:)
“THE PRESIDENT’S PENIS IS MISSING OLE’!!!
WE SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW, EVERY NIGHT EVERYDAY
LORD, WON’T YOU COME DOWN AND REDEEM US
HAS ANYONE SEEN THE PRESIDENT’S PENIS?”

(at this point, legendary news man Walter Cronkite returns from the moon to add his commentary:)
“Now Presidents have goofed up in all kinds of ways
in the 80’s we elected one missing his brain
George Washington caught a cold he couldn’t explain
and we all know the truth about Thomas Jefferson’s name”

(suddenly William Randolph Hurst rises from the grave and bellows out in an Orson Welles type voice:)
“Franklin D. Roosevelt wasn’t no square
with that raging Woodrow in his wheelchair
and all the lesbians snickered that Elenor didn’t care
and John Kennedy’s penis was seen everywhere”

(once again everyone breaks out in gleeful song:)
“THE PRESIDENT’S PENIS IS MISSING OLE’!!!
WE SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW EVERY NIGHT EVERY DAY
LORD WON’T YOU COME DOWN AND REDEEM US
HAS ANYONE SEEN THE PRESIDENT’S PENIS?”

(the scene shifts to Sen. John Glenn, wandering pensively, somewhere in space:)
“Them outer space people would laugh if they’d seen us
all this talk about cum-stains and oral coitus
meanwhile the whole world suffers from hunger and meanness
but we’re more concerned with the President’s penis”

THE END?

:) No I haven't heard it yet, but thanks for the reference, I'll have to check it out!
 
Sent you a pm with the lyrics. The Truckers are great and there albums routinely wind up on critics best of lists but they don't sell for squat. I'd find a way to get you an mp3 of the song but my mp3 hard drive died and my copy of the cd is in storage. Really good band worth checking out.
 
R. Blackmore "Freedom Fighter"

You can't control me tell me what to do
chained in mediocrity so I can be like you
I am not a statue not part of a machine
I'm sick and tired of the whole routine
calculate your future, computerise your past
instant replay if it's gone too fast
take away my freedom, take away my home
i'm only human but it might now show
I'm not made of stone

I'm a freedom fighter I got something to say
I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way

Hide behind your politics, hide behind your rules
tell me I'm a man but you treat me like a fool
it's the same old story with a different name
you give us all a number and nothing changes
out in the winter of a world upon it's knees
everyone is watching but no one sees
you can't take my freedom you know it is my right
if you try and stop me I'm gonna fight
with all of my might

I'm a freedom fighter and I'm taking command
I'm a freedom fighter and I'm making a stand

Fighting for breath as the world gathers speed
time's running out for the things that I need

I'm a freedom fighter I gotta take a stand
I'm a freedom fighter, yeah that's what I am
I'm a freedom fighter I can't take it no more
I'm a freedom fighter no no more
I'm a freedom fighter but I'm not afraid
I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way.
 
Jim Boyd's My Heart Drops but I'm Proud

And, of course, Woody Guthrie's This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land
 
Just in case you haven't heard Jim Boyd's My Heart Drops but I'm Proud:

My Heart Drops But I'm Proud lyrics

Well I remember back when
I went to school
Teacher said son don't forget
that golden rule
Were more important things
for me to find out
My heart drops but I'm proud
My dad spent twenty years in a uniform of blue
This Air Force Indian man
wouldn't tell us what he knew
Now that he's gone there's things I'll
never know about
My heart drops but I'm proud
Ya my heart drops but I'm proud
I can't forget how they killed
John Kennedy
I can't forget what they did
at Wounded Knee
I've lived in two worlds
both wanting to be free
Don't try to tell me what
my country means to me
Star Spangled Banner
and the sound of the drum
Tell their own stories under the same sun
I love this country
but I some times have my doubts
My heart drops but I'm proud
Ya my heart drops but I'm proud
I can't forget how they killed
John Kennedy
I can't forget what they did
at Wounded Knee
I've lived in two worlds
both wanting to be free
Don't try to tell me what
my country means to me
My heart drops but I'm proud
Ya my heart drops but I'm proud

Nothing like hearing this Spokane Indian man sing with conviction, "Don't try to tell me what my country means to me" to make you want to slap a knee-jerk, narrow-minded conventional thinker cross-eyed.

slightly satirical:) song from TIN CUP

KEB MO FLAT BROKE & BUSTED LYRICS
Flat broke and busted, it just don?t seem fair
The Man in Heaven, don?t hear my prayer
And these dice are loaded, and I still can?t win
Flat broke and busted, crapped out again

Maybe tomorrow, I?ll see the light
And I?ll know the difference, ?tween wrong and right
My ship is out there, but it can?t come in
Flat broke and busted, crapped out again

refrain

And now I?m hangin? on tight, to the end of my rope
Somebody call me a preacher, yeah, let?s call the Pope
Just the flip of a coin, the turn of a card
I?ll be back up on top, damn, I?ll be livin? large

instrumental break ? blues harp 4 bars
My ship is out there, but it can?t come in
Flat broke and busted, all crapped out, crapped out again

:o:o:p:eek:
 
I've seen it here already but I think my favorite for the revolution right now is

Won't Get Fooled Again
The Who


Another personal favorite that applies, philisophically

2112
Rush
 
the logical song by supertramp

Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Wont you sign up your name, wed like to feel youre
Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
