20 Protest Songs That Matter: No. 6
- Posted by Spinner
--System of a Down (2002)
Rebelling Against: Militarism!
Any number of songs from this hyper-politicized nu-metal band could have made the list. This condemnation of rampant military spending in a world full of starving children gets bonus points for referencing Noam Chomsky, and for the group's hiring of Michael Moore to make the video.

I am in the military, and proud of what we do to give people the RIGHT, not the privilege, to express how they feel, even when they choose to protest our giving them to right to do so.

Noam Chomfski is a communist. I wonder how much food he sent to Africa. Me, I smoke, drink, and gamble. These pay all the taxes for the children. I would like to waterboard Noam.

Die painfully okay? Prefearbly by getting crushed to death in a garbage compactor, by getting your face cut to ribbons with a pocketknife, your head cracked open with a baseball bat, your stomach sliced open and your entrails spilled out, and your eyeballs ripped out of their sockets. Fucking bitch

When will GG get his infintile notions outta his head and grow up? There will always be poor, and there will always be murder, and rape, and disease....so let's not do anything about any of them.
When will GG realize that "personal" welfare cost 1/10 the amount of corporate welfare... although probably more now after 7 years of Bush plutocracy [look it up, GG]. Get the businesses and churches to pay their share and there will be plenty to go around.

When will these liberals get that poverty has always existed and it always will. We could take every dollar out of our defense budget and give it to "the poor" and they'd still need more. You don't throw money at a problem but the lefties don't comprehend that. I'm of the "teach a man to fish" mentality but charity should never come from big brother anyway.
Why do these lefties cry against too much big brother yet they want big brother to support them??
