Your favorite political protest song

[Mars 2,409]

"The film 'Full of Fire' started to grow as an embryo in the song´s lines 'Who looks after my story'. Who takes care of our stories when the big history, written by straight rich white men, erase the complexity of human´s lives, desires and conditions? The film 'Full of Fire' consists of a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and promises. Fates that at first sight seem isolated from each other, but if we pay attention, we can see that everything essentially moves into each other. Our lives are intertwined and our eyes on each other, our sounds and smells, mean something. Our actions create reality, we create each other. We are never faceless, not even in the most grey anonymous streets of the city. We will never stop being responsible, being extensions, of one another. We will never stop longing for each other, and for something else."

Zahara's "Esto no es una canción politica" (This aint a political song) has to be one of my faves. Some lyrics:

"This song aint a victim of patriarchy, and wont make it to the news.

(It) doesnt sleep thinking about the consequences of their acts.

Wont stand against its leaders. 

This song is willing to die for its flag and its country, it will never be exiled.

This song is an aria, its white and heteronormative. 

This song is a fucking ballad. *beat drop*

My Nonna used to sing it during WW2

Not sure exactly what qualifies as a political protest song but Eat Your Young by Hozier?
