Zappa always comes to mind first.  Broadway The Hardway, baby!  Since I am political and like prog, I will likely churn up some more.

Edit:
Fred Frith with Skeleton Crew is chock full of American politics.  Also, his solo Cheap At Half The Price.

That's what I was thinking. But I hope people have even more ideas.

Possibly America by Pain of Salvation, but I guess that's more about culture in general, and it might be a bit too scathing...

You're welcome.


It has to be more broad (about the general political culture of America).

Help me do my AP Government project! I have to find a song with lyrics that relate to the political culture of the United States. Can you guys think if any prog songs that fit into this category?
