the link I posted is metal gear solid song that i wanted to play at a protest. It's not necessarily a protest song its about turning away the torment's of your heart and turning towards eternal joy, but the Gaelic lyrics does make me thing of the songs that were written by all the conquered people throughout history and how those would make great anti war songs.

I do want songs about working class solidarity that are modern. I've picked up Iran ai lego songs, they're actually pretty good and the lyrics are pretty good, I haven't found any quite on the level, the Iranians go hard on trump.

seems like all the anti war songs are not from this decade and anti ice is lacking.

here are some songs I've picked out for protest for protest:

MACKLEMORE - HIND'S HALL 2 (feat. Anees, MC Abdul, Amer Zahr)

The Genocide That Is Not Over | Iranian LEGO War-Themed Video By Akhbarenfejari

Les Misérables | Do You Hear the People Sing?

IT AINT GONNA GO AWAY - ODE TO THE EPSTEIN FILES

Billionaire Buffet (feat. Kasane Teto)

Look up no$hu. "Fuck ICE ICE baby", "Against Occupation" and a bunch of his other songs. Check out Jesse Welles "Join ICE".

Edit to add: "The Guillotine" by The Coup. Goes so hard.

Upvote for Jesse Welles. I appreciate his music can be topical, but also humorous and chill. Maybe not the sort of protest songs you play to fire people up, but definitely ones that will get their message stuck in your head.
