For a Rage Against The Machine song, I’d suggest “Bullet In The Head” or “Bulls On Parade” as well.
American Idiot by green day sums up Trump pretty well.
You Haven’t Done Nothin’ by Stevie Wonder. (Funky as hell, too.)
We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you’ll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you
But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
You haven’t done nothing
It’s not too cool to be ridiculed
But you brought this upon yourself
The world is tired of pacifiers
We want the truth and nothing else, yeah
And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
You haven’t done nothing
“The Code Is Red… Long Live the Code” by Napalm Death
*The code is red… Long live the code
Lighting the way to a panic mode.
Switched up to - switched up to subdue when the masses switch off
The code is red… Long live the code
Whip up a storm and they’ll play along.
Barricades built - barricades built to deter ficitional threats
Dissected, observed
Under an all - seeing microscope
Dissected, observed
Be the perfect specimens
Lighting the way - lighting the way, subjugate, illuminate.
It’s ego and worse
It brings us to “zero tolerance”
It’s ego and worse
To suffocate diversity
And decree it an aggressive disease.
There will always come a threat once the plebs step out of line
A fabricated perpetrator biding his time.
They’ll take us up to fever pitch and watch intolerance spread.
And you’ll be none the wiser with a paranoid mindset*
Tom Paxton’s Mr. Blue has to fit in there somewhere.
Be careful Mister Blue this phase you’re going through,
Can lead you nowhere else, but to disaster.
Excuse us while we grin, you’ve worn our patience thin.
It’s time to show you who’s your master.
What will it take, to whip you into line?
A broken heart?
A broken head?
It can be arranged.
It could probably do with some clown music, like “Entry of the Gladiators”.
Surely “Loves Me Like a Rock” has a place.
Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)
I’m sure you can find a place for Where were you hiding when the storm broke?
There needs to be a place for the Sex Pistols “No Feelings”
Blues Traveler’s “Hook,” maybe?
It doesn’t matter what I say
As long as I sing with inflection
It makes you feel I’ll convey
Some inner truth or vast reflection
But I’ve said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes

Sorry but the “original” Cohen version wins here; it’s just so iconically Eurotrash. That R.E.M. cover is pretty good but you forgot the rule of NO R.E.M. SONGS, so sorry! ![]()
Loving the hell out of “Lawyers, Guns & Money” right now. Is all of Warren Zevon’s stuff as awesome as this?
Still need more anti-environmental songs – I’ve added “Throwing Stones” by the Grateful Dead, “Earth Day” by Devin Townsend, possibly “The Trees” by Rush…
Money (that’s what I want) by the Beatles.
“Hit The Road Jack” should be in there somewhere.
“Eminence Front” would fit.
Would Land of Confusionfit, do you think?
Another ‘wall’ song: the refrain of the Wilburys’ (really Dylan’s) "Tweeter and the Monkeyman::
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they’re standing
Never saw them when they fell
The whole Trump-as-dumpster-fire thing always reminded me of Modest Mouse’s “Lampshade’s on Fire,” which also fits in with the trashing-the-environment section:
*The air’s on fire so we’re moving on
Better find another one cause this one’s done
Waiting for the magic of the scientist’s glove
To push, push, push, push, pull us up
Spend some time, float in outer space
Find another planet, make the same mistakes*
I’m glad you got “Cult of Personality” in there. I’ve been playing that since Inaguration Day.
Wouldn’t Gil Scott-Heron’s “B-Movie” be more appropriate than "The Revolution … "?
“Well, the first thing I want to say is mandate my ass.”
your humble TubaDivaHow about songs “honoring” his crotch-fruit?
For his elephant-butchering male brats -
Beatles, The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill
He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun
In case of accidents he always took his mom
He’s the all American bullet-headed saxon mother’s son.
All the children sing
Hey Bungalow Bill
What did you kill
Bungalow Bill?
For the Resistance period, how about “The Rising” by Bruce Springsteen?
