Go to Sleep/Radiohead
Something for the rag and bone man "Over my dead body" Something big is gonna happen "Over my dead body" Someone's son or someone's daughter "Over my dead body" This is how I end up getting sucked in "Over my dead body" I'm gonna go to sleep Let this wash all over me We don't wanna wake monster taking over "Tiptoe round tie him down" We don't want the loonies taking over "Tiptoe round tie them down" May pretty horses Come to you As you sleep I'm gonna go to sleep Let this wash All over me Head bloodied yet unbowed. |

Chumbawamba - When Fine Society Sits Down To Dine
With her friends on a road less travelled, on a journey of do's and dares Looking back on a fear of leaving and forgetting how it felt to be scared There are those paying fancy prices to pretend they have fancy lives But at every charity banquet the majority stay outside (Chorus) We play to a packed gallery We smile for the CCTV We're making our own history When fine society sits down to dine, remember that someone is pissing in the wine Pissing in the wine, pissing in the wine Remember that someone is pissing in the wine She'd love to be dancing the tango and she traces the steps in her mind You can tell by the snap of her fingers that she moves to a different time Where all the quiet submission is smeared in lipstick red And every act is a crime of passion "That's not all she wrote," she said  Τα παιδεία παίζει. |

But if I can go for a classic, like so many already have, then I'd say Pink Floyd, Another brick in the wall.
We don't need no education We dont need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers leave them kids alone Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone! All in all it's just another brick in the wall. All in all you're just another brick in the wall. We don't need no education We dont need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers leave them kids alone Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone! All in all it's just another brick in the wall. All in all you're just another brick in the wall. "Wrong, Do it again!" "If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?" "You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!" Τα παιδεία παίζει. |

God save the queen
The fascist regime They made you a moron Potential H-bomb God save the queen She ain't no human being There is no future In England's dreaming Don't be told what you want Don't be told what you need There's no future, no future, No future for you God save the queen We mean it man We love our queen God saves God save the queen 'Cause tourists are money And our figurehead Is not what she seems Oh God save history God save your mad parade Oh Lord God have mercy All crimes are paid When there's no future How can there be sin We're the flowers in the dustbin We're the poison in your human machine We're the future, your future God save the queen We mean it man We love our queen God saves God save the queen We mean it man And there is no future In England's dreaming No future, no future, No future for you No future, no future, No future for me No future, no future, No future for you No future, no future For you __________ People lie with words all the time, but rarely do they lie with actions. |

The Unisex - Pigs & their Farms
Happy fellows can't come in You're too young GO HOME! GO HOME! Lucky suckers go away You hadn't liked it anyway GO HOME!! Everything is just all right When you wait outside You are not a sell out You are gonna fade out You can't fight us Cause we're stronger than you are Happy cattle in a farm You're all the same GO HOME! GO HOME! Everything is not true It all depends on what you do Everything is just all right When you wait outside You are not a sell out You are gonna fade out You can't fight us Cause we're stronger than you are Τα παιδεία παίζει. |

More of a pragmatic anti-protest song:
Johnny's in the basement Mixing up the medicine I'm on the pavement Thinking about the government The man in the trench coat Badge out, laid off Says he's got a bad cough Wants to get it paid off Look out kid It's somethin' you did God knows when But you're doin' it again You better duck down the alley way Lookin' for a new friend The man in the coon-skin cap In the big pen Wants eleven dollar bills You only got ten Maggie comes fleet foot Face full of black soot Talkin' that the heat put Plants in the bed but The phone's tapped anyway Maggie says that many say They must bust in early May Orders from the D. A. Look out kid Don't matter what you did Walk on your tip toes Don't try "No Doz" Better stay away from those That carry around a fire hose Keep a clean nose Watch the plain clothes You don't need a weather man To know which way the wind blows Get sick, get well Hang around a ink well Ring bell, hard to tell If anything is goin' to sell Try hard, get barred Get back, write braille Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you fail Look out kid You're gonna get hit But users, cheaters Six-time losers Hang around the theaters Girl by the whirlpool Lookin' for a new fool Don't follow leaders Watch the parkin' meters Ah get born, keep warm Short pants, romance, learn to dance Get dressed, get blessed Try to be a success Please her, please him, buy gifts Don't steal, don't lift Twenty years of schoolin' And they put you on the day shift Look out kid They keep it all hid Better jump down a manhole Light yourself a candle Don't wear sandals Try to avoid the scandals Don't wanna be a bum You better chew gum The pump don't work 'Cause the vandals took the handles __________ People lie with words all the time, but rarely do they lie with actions. |
