(2,763 posts)"Forced out, brave and mighty
Stolen land, they can't fight it
Hold on to pride and tradition
Even though they know
How much their lives are really missing
We're dissing them
On reservations
A hopeless situation"
-- Indians by Anthrax
or
"They dedicate their lives to running all of his
He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same, he's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win, a tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares to die regretfully
That old man here is me, yeah
[Chorus]
What I've felt, what I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be, never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt, what I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free, never me
So I dub thee 'Unforgiven' "
---- Unforgiven by Metallica
Now these random examples are arguably depressing, hardly making one 'feel good'.
Songs about racial injustice and religious bigotry probably shouldn't.
Just a thought.
I could go on and on with other examples, from metal to punk to prog to hiphop, but prefer to be brief, ha ha.
Oh, were you being sarcastic and I missed it?
