What is your song for the Revolution?

We are hitting the streets soon, friends. What is your song for the Revolution? Mine is David Bowie's I DEMAND A BETTER FUTURE.
Easy to remember, easy to sing along has a great tag line and also contains an implied threat...."Or I might just stop loving you.", delivered in a most nonthreatening manner.

What's your song?

Dropped in 1983; 34 years ago, but it could have been written just tonight.



Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
And the walls came down
They stood there laughing
They're not laughing anymore
The walls came down

Sanctuary fades
Congregation splits
Nightly military raids
The congregation splits
It's a song of assassins
Ringin' in your ears
We got terrorist thinking
Playing on fears

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
But the walls came down
I don't think there are any Russians
And there ain't no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playin' with tanks
