Not sure if this has been posted, but this is a classic.
Phil Ochs - Love me, I'm a liberal
I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me
Love me, I'm a liberal
I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R.
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far
So love me, love me
Love me, I'm a liberal
I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
And I'm glad the commies were thrown out
Of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
As long as they don't move next door
So love me, love me
Love me, I'm a liberal
The people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me
Love me, I'm a liberal
Yes, I read New republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me
Love me, I'm a liberal
I vote for the democratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I attend all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
And I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along
So love me, love me
Love me, I'm a liberal
Sure once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
Ah, but I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in
So love me, love me
Love me, I'm a liberal

Quote:
[Hook]
The system, the victims, the death so arbitrary
The wealth lies deceitful religious hands that carry
The crimes of the guilty, the coldest calculation
No freedom, no disco for sovereign foreign nations
[Verse 1: Boots Riley]
A pistol, a plan, a list of demands
I hold onto shit my fist understands
Lifted again, a fifth's in my hand
Liquid to land for those ditched in the sand
I'm socialistic, they so sadistic
Flashing off they ring, don't go and kiss it
Flashin' on our green when dough is minted
Police after me, please know I sprinted
Now dope is blended, it transported, vended
Our notes, they spent it, we can't vote and end it
'til folks have risen, there's no decision
We make the motor move, they chauffer driven
Right now we can't shine right, like a broken prism
I figured out the 14th is a broke amendment
Take this to the office, tell 'em "up the offers"
Cut us in on the profits or we suspend it
[Verse 2: Stza]
It's a mark of the feds that all left us for dead
Put a bullet in your body and another in your head
They come up with excuses for all their abuses
Cover up their corruption like they hide all your bruises
Homogeny's a sign that you're doing something wrong
So if you're banking on my misery, you best move along
While you're counting on your stack, we'll be on the attack
When it's boots from the coup with the stza of crack
From the police state that macrocosm of hate
To the kids yelling "peace" in the belly of the beast
Broken mirrors in their eyes, hella blood on their breath
Cuz they're praying to the bank and they're banking on your death
Deception and doom we're all taught to consume
The ghetto breeds revolt with a strong sense of doom
Explosions at the airport pack a message and a boom
9/11 'til infinity from the dumpster to the mother-fucking tomb

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one,
But the union makes us strong.
Chorus:
Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
For the union makes us strong.
Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite,
Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might?
Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight?
For the union makes us strong.
Chorus
It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;
Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid;
Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made;
But the union makes us strong.
Chorus
All the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone.
We have laid the wide foundations; built it skyward stone by stone.
It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own.
While the union makes us strong.
Chorus
They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn.
We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn
That the union makes us strong.
Chorus
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
Greater than the might of armies, multiplied a thousand-fold.
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
For the union makes us strong.

Here's a modern day rewrite: Solidarity Forever (Illegal Version)
When the bosses' sanguination through the city streets does run
There can be no power greater than the barrel of a gun
And when the bourgeoisie protests expropriate their tongue
For the black bloc makes us strong
Solidarity forever
The fuck we got in common with the greedy parasite
Who would kill a union activist to give their cola bite
The pigs work for the bosses so get strapped in for a fight
For the black bloc makes us strong
Solidarity forever
It's we who run the weapons plants and fight the wars they wage
And who work consumer hotlines from the inside of a cage
It's we who sweep the stock exchange where it's our lives they trade
But the black bloc makes us strong
Solidarity forever
All the world that pigs patrol is ours and ours alone
All their deeds have the authority of workers' crunching bone
But when their city hall explodes, it's we who owned that drone
For the black bloc makes us strong
Solidarity forever
Their dollars are our labor when we overwork they earn
But without our brains and muscle there's no treatment for a burn
No one to put out mansion fires where charring bodies turn
While the black bloc makes us strong
Solidarity forever
They come pollute our neighborhoods and privatize the grass
They exploit our race and gender to divide the working class
Because they know united that we'd rise to kick their ass
For the black bloc makes us strong
Solidarity forever
They racketeer, enslave and murder, gas us while we grieve
They cut off our public services and raise rent till we leave
But we'll burn every yogurt shop until the pigs believe
That the black bloc makes us strong
Solidarity forever
If you protest a pay cut then you're fired on the spot
Then they throw you in a jail cell if you sell all that you got
So all sex workers take up arms and take the money shot
For the black bloc makes us strong
Solidarity forever
We're told of all the progress that democracy has made
But the myth of meritocracy don't match what we get paid
There's no hope in a ballot box but on a barricade
For the black bloc makes us strong
Solidarity forever
They tell us job security will come to us with time
While our kin retire homeless at the age of 89
With theft and solidarity it's our assembly line
For the black bloc makes us strong
Solidarity forever

Best of the best.
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

I guess "O'er the land of the worlds highest incarceration rate and the home of the people who need to always possess guns to feel safe!" doesn't sound quite as good.
