Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USAI LOVE "Ohio". This was written in response to the killings at Kent State College when National Guardsmen open-fired on protesting students:

Ohio

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drummin'.
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it.
Soldiers are gunning us down.
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.

Gotta get down to it.
Soldiers are cutting us down.
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drummin'.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.

The Cranberries - The icicle melts

When
When will the icicle melt,
And when
When will the picture show end

I should not have read the paper today
Cause a child, child he was taken away

There's a place for the baby that cried
And there's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long

How could you hurt a child
Now does this make you satisfied
I don't know what's
happening to people today
When a child, he was taken away

There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in
her arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long

There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother who cried
And you will hold him in
your arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long

2Pac- Changes:

"Instead a war on poverty
They have a war ond rugs so the police can bother me"

Very clever text in this song. Just when I thought, because of all the negative rap about big cars, guns and biatches, when rap never meant anything, I heard that song.

A lot of Bob Dylan's songs:
The times they are a changin'
Like a rolling stone
Hurricane

And a lot of the songs from my favorite Dutch artist, but since you don't know him I won't bother you with him. :p

Murdering devils that wear police officer suits
Revolutionaries standing on street corners and stoops
I'm the reason the FBI killed JFK
The reason they have metal detectors at JFK
The reason that the Constitution no longer protects us
They don't even need a reason anymore to arrest us
Living in a state of Martial Law
Learn the arts of war
Arm yourself, marching forth into the monster's jaws
America eats its young, swallow raw
Falling through the doorway of death
Never know what we dying for

(Chorus)

[Ill Bill]
I seen spoiled kids murder they parents with shotguns
Poor kids from the hood sellin they mom's drugs
A lost generation of fools
Without a clear destination
No guidance, no rules, no education
And the older generation's no better
Matter of fact they worse
They oughta know better
These greedy mother****ers trade blood for oil
An American graveyard on another man's soil
Makes no sense
The Roman Empire in the present tense
Murder for corporations that they represent
Whether Democrat or Republican
The same scumbag government
Where scumbag brains are running ****

Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in.""

Alan Jackson's "Where Were You" was about 9/11. He asked people where they were and what they did "when the world stood still (or is it stopped turning?) on that September day." It's a very sad song. :(
