They hate the military industrial complex, we hate the military industrial complex. They hate the government, we hate the government. Rage Against the Machine may be awful, horrible left-wing nutjobs, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t common ground with libertarians. One of the hardest rocking songs ever written, and a dynamite screed against government. KEY RAGING: Line up to the mind cemetery now/What we don’t know keeps the contracts alive an movin/’They don’t gotta burn the books they just remove ’em/While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells Bulls on Parade – Rage Against the Machine Every third party candidate should adopt this song as their own.ĥ. Won’t Get Fooled Again isn’t exactly a libertarian screed– Pete Townshend probably shares more in common with socialists than libertarians– but the lyrics definitely harken a world in which both the left and right fight for their own good and the people get the shaft. KEY PHRASE: There’s nothing in the streets, looks any different to me/And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye/And the parting on the left is now parting on the right/And the beards have all grown longer overnight. The use of oaks and maples makes the lyrics a little too cute, but the message is loud and clear. This prog-rock classic by Rush from their 1978 album Hemispheres is a searing attack on unions and forced equality. PEART-INENT LYRICS: So the maples formed a union/And demanded equal rights/The oaks are just too greedy/We will make them give us light/Now there’s no more oak oppression/For they passed a noble law/And the trees are all kept equal/By hatchet, axe, and saw. Because these songs feature actual rock and roll played by actual musicians, hippies, indie kids, and punks should use caution when listening.
Three to four chords, awkwardly forced lyrics, musicianship that would make Simple Plan blush. Fortunately, there exists songs that not only rock, but also have a good ol’ fashioned anti-government message. When we think about anti-government songs, naturally the mind wanders to the punk and folk genres.
