They have more narrative description and history around each of the songs they feature, but I'm going to share the youtube clips here, so it's still possible to jump around the "social justice" and "music" links on this site and see the growing compilation of social justice songs. Thanks for the recommendations around what I haven't shared yet. I'll catch up and keep the suggestions coming!
Working Class Hero by John Lennon
We Gotta Get Out of This Place by the Animals
Cleaning Windows by Van Morrison
Career Opportunities by The Clash
Bob Marley's Night Shift
Lou Reed's Don't Talk to Me about Work
Smithers-Jones by The Jam
and last by not least, Bad Days by The Flaming Lips
And if you dig music and rock criticism, do check out Sound Opinions. It's an excellent show and site.
