Protest Songs

[Kathy]

Any old protest songs that would be relevant today. Music has a way of defining an era. I know for me songs will bring back memories of a certain time in my life. As I watch these protests I flash back to when I was 10, 11, 12 watching similar scenes on TV. Sometimes music helped express many feelings both good and bad. I'll start with the following - many to choose from.

Very underrated Vietnam song from a group you wouldn't expect.

"Sometimes in my bed at night
I curse the dark and I pray for light
And sometimes, the light's no consolation."

Hard to imagine native populations being treated worse than the American Indians, but its arguable that the Aborigines were.

This is one of my favorite. One of the most popular song during Vietnam war.
