For politically aware songs, the '00s were all for naught|LAT

8. Yes. He did, in fact, his albums are generally political - just not how David Crosby would like...

Eminem also does way more than that these days. Frankly, he's the voice of young White America - anger, disillusionment, motivation, indignation - you'd have difficulty finding a person under 30 who hasn't listened an to Eminem song. Lady Gaga is pretty much political these days too - she's a symbol for sexual freedom and we all know how much the right hates that message.

I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road (same road)

I'm just so fuckin' depressed
I just can seem to get out this slump
If I could just get over this hump
But I need something to pull me out this dump
I took my bruises, took my lumps
Fell down and I got right back up
But I need that spark to get psyched back up
In order for me to pick that mic back up
I don't know how I pry away
And I ended up in this position I'm in
I starting to feel distant again
