PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER THIS!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!
Does anyone know of a good song whose topic is about riot, protest, revolution, defying the mainstream, thinking for yourself, etc.
(ex. "White Riot" - The Clash)

In addition to those listed above:
"Fight the Power" - Public Enemy
"Burn Hollywood Burn" - Public Enemy
"The Harder They Come" - Jimmy Cliff originally, but Rancid, the Rolling Stones and Joe Strummer & The Long Beach Dub All Stars have all covered it, too
"Babylon System" - Bob Marley
"Academy Fight Song" - Mission of Burma
After "White Riot" I think "Clampdown" is one of The Clash's best "non-conformist" songs.

The only songs I could think of besides the ones listed are:
Not Ready to Make Nice - Dixie Chicks
Your Not the Only One, Everybody's Fool - Evanescence
Makeover - Christina Aguilera
Mosh, White America, Square Dance - Eminem
Teenagers - My Chemical Romance
I know they're not hard rock "We're Not Going to Take It", but this is what I listen to.

Theres alot more clash songs about revolution...for example..."London's Burning" "London Calling" "I fought the law"
and if you like Hardcore...REAL hardcore...try Blood For Blood.."White Trash Anthem" "Love Song" and "Ain't Like You" but you gotta be into that genre to really like it, they are a Boston Hardcore band. Alot of the GOOD classic punk is about what you are looking for...The Clash, Anti-Nowhere League, Buzzcocks, The Damned, Generation X...all that stuff is about revolution.

John Lennon, Green Day, or oh ohh ohohohoh I got it!!!!! Don't pay attention to the other ones I listed- this is it! NUMB by Linkin Park. Thats classic "I'm not going to do what your doing" kind of thing, following your own tune. Are you doing this for an english class, because this is exactly what we're doing in my english class! Quelle coincidence!
