I like Against Me! alot, so pick any 2/3s of their songs and there's a politcal theme.

The bass player in me want's to chime in and say "James Jamerson rules too,." but yeah, I love this song. Marvin had such a voice.
This Ain't No Picnic is great too, actually the whole album is pretty great.

EDIT: haha, I totally missed the other Jamerson comment.

yeah for real. I was kidding when I posted it, since it seems like just a dumb rock song with a protest song's name. I got no idea why it appeared on that list. what a shitty list!!!

Not sure to what extent this counts as a "protest song," but it is enjoyable song nonetheless and most of the band's work is similarly political in nature.

Lars, I might be able to upload it, I just have to remember where it is on my computer.

EDIT: I've found the folder containing this CD, but "The Room" is mysteriously missing. I will look a little longer, but if I cannot find it would you mind if I just upload it sans "the Room"?

yeah sounds good man!

The band worked on the video for it with director, Dori Oskowitz. It begins with Nickelback in the studio playing the song. Scenes of this are intercut with images and videos of past social justice and human rights events, essentially when an individual "cared" and ended up changing the world. The people shown are Betty Williams, who led a march of 35,000 women to the gravesites of three Northern Irish children after witnessing their deaths, Bob Geldof starting up Live Aid, Peter Benenson igniting what would become known as Amnesty International, and Nelson Mandela leading South Africa to its first democratic election, (which would end the racist apartheid régime that had divided the country for 46 years). The video ends with a quote from Margaret Mead that reads "Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

most of anti-flags entire library are protest songs. as are the majority of all politcal punk groups songs. some better than others, (some are so liberal they make even me go come on really?)

one of my favorite modern protest songs

Erm. Completely disagree in every way.
Especially on the Linkin Park, they're too absorbed into themselves that I really feel it's a song they wrote about how they feel disguised as something else when coupled with a few minutes of 9/11 and Hitler.

Plus these are two mainstream (generic as hell) rock bands... So I don't see how you can say that really... unless you're joking?

Oh and I think you could easily fit this one in here:
