This is from five years ago, so missing some of the worse shit.

    This is a really great point. Pumped Up Kicks is another pop song that manages to nail a message without getting too corny.

    Hip Hop also has a long tradition of revolutionary music to it which is awesome.

    “Run To The Hills” by Iron Maiden feels a little dated now, but had a lot of bite to it and really pissed people off when it first released. An anti-colonialist metal song in the 80’s was a big deal.

      Oh, Run To The Hills is a great point! Hiphop as well. Seems like it can do it direct or indirect.

      I spose I'm being too hard-and-fast — good lyrics are good lyrics.
