Good song. I love that song. There are a few songs on this thread that aren't really protest songs but that talk about something of social significance. One I love that is my absolute favorite Christmas song was done by Perry como. It was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice for the Odessa Files.

Translation of the German part
(Lie conducted the world, honesty
rarely brings money, Every'd 'be
winner who loses remains alone;
But many will is possible by the imagination
You die to live and take to give)
Once a year is all true to Christmas
do not forget, do not forget it certainly.
