Here are a couple I like to start this off. (Note,I have posted these songs before,but never in this grouping). Explain what message you get ,or don't.Up to you.
Here is what the artist says about this song.

""...my impressions of such a powerful experience are not one-dimensional, and this is apparent in the song to all but the most narrow persons who might decide to misconstrue its meaning and my standing on the subject for their own, political/moral prejudice."-GP"


In this day and age why keep the hate going ?

    Getting old ain't for sissy's
    As you are I was, as I am you will be
    You can't fix stupid, but you can always out smart it.

    Lyrics below the video...


    My name is not important, I've been sent to put an end
    To the wanking in the ranks of the disloyal opposition
    You've been heard to complain, you don't like your status quo
    And you haven't met your quota of spending, don't you know
    Your mission is to conform and to consume
    You're way behind now so get your ass started
    Where would we be if we all did what we wanted?
    The wheels of industry would grind up to a halt
    Our factories in Mexico would surely feel the jolt
    Run though the maze and get your piece of cheese
    Don't come to us if you wind up on your knees
    Deep down inside yes, you may be seething
    But we want you good and tired, just barely breathing


    Modern life's got you down? We got pills for all your ills
    All you gotta do is buy a lifetime supply of magic potions
    You won't know what to feel, what is fake and what is real
    As they slowly take control of your mind and your emotions
    Until you finally tow the line
    You're not exempt, no you won't be forgotten
    Take it from me, we know how to push your buttons
    What you believe ain't subject to debate
    We'll let you know what to love and what to hate
    You'll be confused morning noon and night
    We'll keep your senses occupied till your lobotomized
    We'll entertain you till we drive you to drinking
    Did you believe we want you to start thinking?


    We are the global merchants we have beads for all your needs
    To sell our way of life to the entire universe is our agenda
    Those who try to resist we will be targets on our list
    We'll bombard 'em with consumer goods until they finally surrender
    And learn to mend their frugal ways
    I know right now it may seem controversial
    But you'll learn to love and live in the endless commercial
    Leave everything to us, trust me, we know best
    Just park the kids by the TV and we'll do all the rest
    We'll pull the strings behind the scene
    And let you all believe that this is really just a dream
    Should you wake up, screaming "how'd this come about?"
    Just keep your mouth shut if you find a way out.

    Come gather 'round people
    Wherever you roam
    And admit that the waters
    Around you have grown
    And accept it that soon
    You'll be drenched to the bone
    If your time to you
    Is worth savin'
    Then you better start swimmin'
    Or you'll sink like a stone
    For the times they are a-changin'.

    Come writers and critics
    Who prophesize with your pen
    And keep your eyes wide
    The chance won't come again
    And don't speak too soon
    For the wheel's still in spin
    And there's no tellin' who
    That it's namin'
    For the loser now
    Will be later to win
    For the times they are a-changin'.

    Come senators, congressmen
    Please heed the call
    Don't stand in the doorway
    Don't block up the hall
    For he that gets hurt
    Will be he who has stalled
    There's a battle outside
    And it is ragin'
    It'll soon shake your windows
    And rattle your walls
    For the times they are a-changin'.

    Come mothers and fathers
    Throughout the land
    And don't criticize
    What you can't understand
    Your sons and your daughters
    Are beyond your command
    Your old road is
    Rapidly agin'
    Please get out of the new one
    If you can't lend your hand
    For the times they are a-changin'.

    The line it is drawn
    The curse it is cast
    The slow one now
    Will later be fast
    As the present now
    Will later be past
    The order is
    Rapidly fadin'
    And the first one now
    Will later be last
    For the times they are a-changin'.

    Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
    Sold I to the merchant ships,
    Minutes after they took I
    From the bottomless pit.
    But my hand was made strong
    By the 'and of the Almighty.
    We forward in this generation
    Triumphantly.
    Won't you help to sing
    This songs of freedom
    'Cause all I ever have:
    Redemption songs;
    Redemption songs.

    Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
    None but ourselves can free our minds.
    Have no fear for atomic energy,
    'Cause none of them can stop the time.
    How long shall they kill our prophets,
    While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
    Some say it's just a part of it:
    We've got to fullfil the book.

    Won't you help to sing
    This songs of freedom-
    'Cause all I ever have:
    Redemption songs;
    Redemption songs;
    Redemption songs.
