I'm looking for political / anti-war songs ... relevant to today....
Something along the lines of:
The Press Corpse - Anti-Flag
Governator - Green Day
Megalomaniac - Incubus
My Idea of Fun - The Stooges...
etc
preferably faster paced songs that are more in your face, where the meaning isn't subtle...
any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

Ohio is a great classic by CSNY.
War (What is it good for?) by ??? I forget his name.
Sunday, Bloody Sunday by U2.
Speaking of the Stooges... When Iggy Pop was drafted for Vietnam, he made himself have an erection when they had to strip. At that time if you were homosexual, you weren't allowed in the military. Guess who got to go back home that day?

EDWIN STARR lyrics - "War"
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Ohhh, war, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
I said, war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing
But a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, war
It's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, it's got one friend
That's the undertaker
Ooooh, war, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Ooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
Ooooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it
Nothing

its a slower paced song and kind of holiday-ish but "war is over" by john lennon is a good anti war song, almost anything by john lennon is, haha

Well these are slower songs, but they are very relevant.
John Fogerty "Deja Vu (All Over Again)"
Bruce Springsteen "Devils and Dust"
