Shake's Question Of The Day

Ms. Shake's "Question of The Day" asks:

What’s your favorite “political” song that isn’t widely regarded as a political anthem?


This is easy-peasy: veteran metal group Testament's aptly titled rant-fest "P.C." from their 1994 release "Low". It's a song where the lyrics (below) just make me want to just go out to Washington D.C. and physicall toss every Republican and Democrat out of office as if they were tattered rucksucks filled with nothing but piss and vinegar (but only if Fixer and Gordon agree to join me).

P.C.
(Testament)

Damn the machines
The system's corrupted
Abusive power is everywhere
Our elected officals, pass laws to help
But who's paying them off?
And in the end, we the people pay
Such a heavy price, just for being alive

And if this country was really free
We'd make paper from hemp and let the forest live
But corporate America, and billion dollar industries
Have too much power
Yet they stand to lose
Too much fucking money
There's nothing we can do... but...

Take back all that we've lost
At any price that it costs
Our freedom was worth fighting for
Resistance now or nevermore


And what about the CIA?
What the fuck is their real job anyway?
Starting civil wars in Third World countries
Importing heroin from the far east
Talk about cocaine, neither kept away
From the youths of today...
Now there's nothing we can do... but...

Take back all that we've lost
At any price that it costs
Our freedom was worth fighting for
Resistance now or nevermore


Oh, fuck yes.
