Now, you're gonna tell me this gets on your nerves?
Quote:
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

I feel young every time I hear that song.
Other times, music will reflect a musician's world view, even if it's not overtly political.
"Why I sing the Blues" BB King
"Busted" Ray Charles
"Satisfaction" Stones
"Respect" Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin
"Living in the USA" Steve Miller (Chuck Berry?)
"Margaritaville" Jimmy Buffett
