The Greatest List of Protest Songs

This is the list of greatest, contemporary protest songs. Music is universal in its ability to elicit emotion and speaking truths that mere words cannot. Caution – some of the lyrics may be offensive. But then again, nothing is more offensive then unjust war, lying leaders, and people dying for no reason.

Thanks go to some clever and creative people who’s names will remain hidden in order to protect the not-so innocent! Enjoy!
