"In a free Land" is one of my favorite songs.

If we're talking SST bands, then I think the Minutemen are mandatory in this thread:

Default the the~violence of truth/armageddon days are here (again)

The The, one of my favorite bands. This album 'Mind Bomb' was released in '89.
Always (unfortunately) relevant, but especially in our present time.

And closing out with songs by Stevie Wonder are the songs from his 2005 "A Time to Love" album...

Stevie Wonder - If Your Love Cannot Be Moved

And I couldn't find a video that had the lyrics to this song, therefore, below is a link that has the lyrics:

Also, I told you that Stevie Wonder was the master of "Political and Social Commentary Music" on page 1.
