Not prog but one of the most highly-charged political songs of all time!

Not really anything to do with political propaganda at all but worth having a proper gander at anyway.  |

There's a few songs on Peter Hammill's In A Foreign Town that are political (not just Hemlock). Sun City Nightlife, for example, is about about Sun City in South Africa. There's also "Vote Brand X."

The Tangent was mentioned earlier. Andy Tillison has been making political tracks for quite some time. Actually, all The Tangent albums starting with The Slow Rust of Forgotten Machinery having been incredibly politically-charged, tackling themes of war, environmentalism, imperialism, fascism, the media, and ultra-nationalism.

Hi,
Foreign Son ... Creedence Clearwater Revival Jefferson Airplane ... too many options! And several words by Grace added to the song in a live setting!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Galahad's "Seas of Change" comes to mind.

I already have mentioned Robert Wyatt. While the song "Shipbulding" -- with lyrics written by Elvis Costello and music by Clive Langer (or music by Costello as he has inferred) and first released by Robert Wyatt as a single in 1982 -- is not Prog, of course Wyatt is associated with Prog through the Canterbury Scene and RIO, and more. It's about the Falklands War, and profiting from the building of ships, and I find it very poignant and beautiful song. . |

Come to war, the Eagle said Come to play under the stream None today shall escape The wrath of one Falling from grace again Winners, losers all remain By the traps under the stream No one here that can't be led To dying fields of evermore From a porcelain cocoon Pulled by the shadows Deep in the womb Twisted roots in the playground All our children are playing By our leading politicians |

Wil Of The People is quite politically charged with songs like We Are f**king f**ked and Kill Or Be Killed. Look at the album artwork. Matt Bellamy has always been obesessed with the oppressive nature of authority.  |

Rush
mostly considered a bit right wing back in the seventies a song like Trees might actually be the best song ever written about socialism, albeit from a capitalist perspective!

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - "Lucky Man", another anti-war song and at the same time sceptical about being rich, the debut album (1970).
