Where are all the popular angry protest songs about what's going on in the world?
I'm sure I'm out of the loop and biased towards English-lyric songs, but what protest songs have been popular in the last 20 years? The only one I can think of is "This is America" by Childish Gambino.
older examples:
"Ohio" from Neil Young about government killings
"Fortunate Son" from CCR about the kids of rich people excused from being drafted for Vietnam
"99 Luftbaloons" from Nena about balloons triggering nuclear war
"Land of Confusion" from Genesis about looming nuclear war
"Zombie" from The Cranberries about the Troubles in Northern Ireland
