Songs about political meanings and issues?
There are political songs and bands usually about Bush is awful president and the war is unjust. Some of the songs that I know that are political are.





Franco Unamerican by NOFX


Press Corpse by Anti-Flag


Pennywise- F*%26amp;( Authority (it may not be suitable unless censored)


B.Y.O.B by System of a Down ;if you can find a censored song


American Idiot by Green Day


Some bands to look for are Green Day, NOFX, Anti-Flag, The bands on Rock Against Bush CDs





About Fall Out Boy, none of the songs that I know are political, they mainly sing about love, teen angst, prom etc. but you can research the band.
Reply:Check out any song written in the 1960s and 70s during the Vietnam Era. The Song WAR for instance...





WAR! - Edwin Starr








(Top Chart Position: #1 on July 25, 1970)





War!





What is it good for?





Absolutely Nothing!





(Repeat)





War is something that I despise





For it means destruction of innocent lives.





For it means tears in thousands of mother's eyes.





When their sons go out to fight to give their lives.'





-





War!





What is it good for?





Absolutely nothing.





Say it again.





(Repeat)





It's nothing but a heartbreaker





Friend only to the undertaker.





War is the enemy of all mankind





The thought of war blows my mind.





Handed down from generation to generation.





Induction destruction





Who wants to die!





-





War!





What is it good for?





Absolutely nothing





Say it again.





War!





What is it good for?





-





War has shattered many young man's dreams





Made them disabled, bitter and mean.





Life is too precious to be fighting wars each day





War can't give life, it can only take it away.





-





It's nothing but a heartbreaker.





Friend only to the undertaker.





There must be some place for these things today.





They say we must fight to keep our freedom,





But Lord there's gotta be a better way.





Better than war.





War!





What is it good for?





Absolutely nothing!

Reply:Well, you can try:





Eminem-Mosh (or something like that) This song directly points out Mr.Bush's fault for the War in Iraq, and also addresses the US Soldiers' current problem of going home and being commanded to return to Iraq 2 or 3 weeks after their return.





another song to try (Parody Song) is : P.I.M.P - Bush or "Bush P.I.M.P" on Youtube, or I am more than sure you can find it on google, this song provides a wholesome supplement of all Mr.Bush's corruptive behaviour and errors he made.





hope that helps
