1. God Save the Queen by the Sex Pistols.
God save the Queen
A fascist regime
She made you a moron
???

God save the Queen
We mean it, man.
We love our Queen,
both sides.


(NOTE: I can't tell what the hell Johnny is singing for half of the song, but I know the half I can hear is pretty f-ing anti-gov).

As for anti-american government music:

Rock Against Bush (the whole album),
Much of DOA's back catalogue,
And of course, my own songs (see link in sig).

18. Is Rock Against Bush good ? (m)
Like musically good - I'm sure the message is worthy but is it good music as well?

2. Enough is Enough, Chumbawamba
Open your eyes
Time to wake up
Enough is enough is enough is enough
Give the fascistman a gunshot

Trying an trying again to get this damn thing done
It can't done
Come kill the fscist with a gun
'cos it's stoping us from unity
We cannot see reality
Just vanity insanity fusion cannot stand it see
No man fascist man will ever get me outta the land
So understand fusion plan to stop them with a bang
We sang and sang to make the people all unite
Not fight but fight because the leaders don't think right
You burnt us in the part you know it won't happen again
So black and white take a stand and all try to defend all of the people and the children who are living in the past
Just blast and blast don't make the fascist man last

Open your eyes
Time to wake up
Enough is enough is enough is enough
Give the fascistman a gunshot

On and on and on you the feeling's so strong
So long
It's wrong
I'm telling you it's wrong
Destruction confusion and blaming it on the colour
I wonder in horror 'cos the people start to follow
All the leaders and the rulers who are putting up the fence
It's dens immense and you say you're talking sense
Bull bull I want to say it full
But people on the radio you know will make a pull
So I try to tone it down to make the whole world know that the language of my violence will proceed in my show
Flow flow to make the fascist man know
That unity is here and unity will grow

Open your eyes
Time to wake up
Enough is enough is enough is enough
Give the fascistman a gunshot


Alternate version, given to attendees at a Vienna concert after that Neo Nazi was elected to office in Austria in May 2000 is available HERE: http://www.geocities.com/cwlyrics/cwlkick.html

4. Democracy Spawns Bad Taste-Crucifucks
COuld probably come up with others but this popped in my head first.

you make things miserable every day. you make me sick with the things you say. you stand for the anthem at the old ball game and your pledge of allegiance is so fucking lame. this kind of freedom is perfect for you as long as you can get away with what you do, but everything you do is in such bad taste and it's your fault the media is such a waste. be a good american - fuck off! be a good american and go to war be a god fearing citizen and - kill someone or kill your self - cuz you're such a fucking bore. you nearly drove me crazy in your asshole schools, grooming us all to be fucking fools, working for the government as zombie tools, but we won't be satisfied till we trash your rules. put a gun in my back and i'll do what you say but i'll burn down your house if i get away, throw me in jail and i'll spit in your face, cuz anarchy is gonna take your fucking place...so be a good american - fuck off! be a good american and go to war be a god fearing citizen and kill someone or kill yourself!!

6. whiteAmericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart (catchy, eh?)
Next Thursday you're invited to watch Rising Tide's live coverage
of a gala tribute in salute to Ronald Reagan.
Host Haley Barbour joins special guest lady Margaret
Thatcher in celebrating the former president's 83 birthday.
Ticket's are 1000 Dollars a plate but you can see the event free on GOP TV.

Images of perfection, suntan and napalm
Grenada - Haiti - Poland - Nicaragua
Who shall we choose for our morality
I'm thinking right now of Hollywood tragedy

Big mac: smack: phoenix r: please smile y'all
Cuba, Mexico can't cauterize our discipline
Your idols speak so much of the abyss
Yet your morals only run as deep as the surface

Cool - groovy - morning - fine
(If white)
Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
(America)
I love a free country
(told the truth)
The stars and stripes and an apple for mommy
(for one day)

Conservative say: there ain't no black in the union jack
Democrat say: there ain't enough white in the stars and stripes

Compton - Harlem - a pimp fucked a priest
The white man has just found a new moral saviour
Vital stats - how white was their skin
Unimportant - just another inner-city drive-by thing

Morning - fine - serve your first coffee of the day
Real privilege, it will take your problems all away
Number one - the best - no excuse from me
I am here to serve the moral majority

Cool - groovy - morning - fine
(If white)
Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
(America)
I love a free country
(told the truth)
The stars and stripes and an apple for mommy
(for one day)

Zapruder the first to masturbate
The world's first taste of crucified grace
And we say: there's not enough black in the union jack
And we say: there's too much white in the stars and stripes

Fuck the Brady bill
Fuck the Brady bill
If God made man they say
Sam Colt made him equal

7. "I´m changing my name to
Chrysler!
I´m going down to Washington,DC...."
Can´t remember the exact text, but i remember well when I heard this one first. Couldn´t stop laughing.

But then: maybe I´m too old for this thread.

8. How about some CLASH?
Career Opportunities
(Strummer/Jones)

They offered me the office, offered me the shop
They said I better take anything they got
Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?
Do you wanna be, do really wanna be a cop?

Career opportunities are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep out the dock
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock

I hate the army and I hate the RAF
I don’t wanna go fighting in the tropical heat
I hate the civil service rules
And I won’t open letter bombs for you

Career opportunities are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep out the dock
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock

Bus driver!
Ambulance man!
Ticket inspector!

They’re gonna have to introduce conscription
They’re gonna have to take away my prescription
If they wanna get me making toys
If they wanna get me, well I got not choice

Career opportunities are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep out the dock
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock

Careers
Careers
Careers
Ain’t a-never gonna knock

9. And another one
Remote Control
(Strummer/Jones)

Who needs remote control
From the Civic Hall
Push a button
Activate
You gotta work an' you're late

It's so grey in London town
With a panda car crawling around
Here it comes
Eleven o'clock
Where can we go now?

Can't make a noise
Can't get no gear
Can't make no money
Can't get outta here

Big business it don't like you
It don't like the things you do
You got no money
So you got no power
They think you're useless
An' so you are - puuuuuuunnnnnk!

They had a meeting in Mayfair
They got you down an'
They wanna keep you there
It makes them worried
Their bank accounts
That's all that matters
And you don't count

Can't make no progress
Can't get ahead
Can't stop the regress
Don't wanna be dead

Look out' those rules and regulations

Who needs the Parliament
Sitting making laws all day
They're all fat and old
Queuing for the House of Lords

Repression - gonna start on Tuesday
Repression - gonna be a Dalek
Repression - I am a robot
Repression - I obey

19. or "Stars and Stripes" by Anti-Flag
"Stars And Stripes"

welcoming with open arms and, with open hearts
in the end they found their arms in shackles and their hearts torn out
this country named "america", is built on graves
of the natives who lived here before, genocide took place
the word "america" means "freedom" - as in, "free to kill the free..."

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me... For me!

it's the same today as then, as U.S. (tax) dollars are spent
to rid the native insurgence in Mexico, and any other U.S. (corporate) "interests"
the 3rd world is a modern day playground, for multinational companies
and the tax dollars we're forced to pay, fund these heartless U.S. policies
their explanation... "it's national interest, national security..."

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

at little big horn national cemetery, there's a monument that reads: "to the soldiers killed in montana while clearing
hostile indians away... '
and there's a flag there flying high, over the fallen killers' graves
when they call on me to die for them i'll say... "not me!"


don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe...
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me... me... me!!!
