#Listening to Superhero by Drew Stephenson, feat. G. Stoner Hilcot. This track is righteous;
"Chief. Executive. Officer. He so important he got 3 words all mean the same thing. He a 'wealth creator'. A 'wealth creator'. How he doing that? Exactly."
I found it on a fundraising compilation of protest songs called The Weapon and The Shield (Vol. I);

“Streets of Minneapolis” by Bruce Springsteen
“Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land and the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed in the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis”

“Don’t sleep
Don’t even think about it
No need
Maybe a little bit
Still dream
About waking up free
As we can be”
– u2.com
“True Believer” by Hayley Williams
“They put up chainlink fences underneath the biggest bridges
They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all their children
They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face
So they don’t have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them”
– Hayley Williams
“Heavy Foot” by Mon Rovîa
“Do you see the man on the screen
Just a puppet but you never see the strings
Calling it a war not a genocide
Telling us it isn’t what it seems
Man that’s a different kind of greed”
– lyrics.my
“The Department of War” by Jesse Welles
“They appeal to your morals, appeal to your fears
Say folks far away are a threat to you here
There’s a malignant tumor in our nation’s guts
Our own department of defense is a threat to us”

Every language, every creed
And no kings, no kings
No kings”

“Join ICE” by Jesse Welles

If you’re seekin’ respect and attention
If you’re in need of a gig that’ll make you feel big
Come with me and put some folks in detention”

“Boots on the Ground” by Massive Attack and Tom Waits
“A coal to a diamond, a vote into law
They Campaign up all the blood they can draw
Mold your world, a soldier’s just clay
How much does every soldier weigh?
Cut you off at the ankles and they throw that away”
– YouTube.com
“Who Will Stand With Us?“ by Dropkick Murphys
“We faced the wrath and felt the pain
Of the tyrant’s sword or the henchman’s boot
For another rich man’s gain
In the endless quest for wealth and power
They stomp us down with great disdain
Beneath the false god’s banner
In the name of all that’s vain”

I Hate The Capitalist System by Barbara Dane, released on Paradon in 1973.
In 1973, Paredon Records gave Barbara Dane the opportunity to speak about the struggles of the American working class on I Hate The Capitalist System. She offers social commentary on the Ludlow Massacre of 1914 and the disadvantages of capitalism to the struggle in Vietnam. She sings these 14 political ballads in a traditional folk style, accompanying herself on guitar. - Folkways
