It always takes me a lot of words to get to the point. If you want two songs which each say, in five minutes, what it took several thousand words for me to say in my previous post, here you go.

It is fairly obvious to me what Calexico in the first song, and Massive Attack in the second song are saying, but I am very happy to clarify if it's unclear.
Also, the notion that no one made viable protest music after the 1970s is patently absurd, and anyone who makes such a claim has not been paying attention.
