Title: Any songs about discrimination?
Post by: Viper_Fujax on November 07, 2004, 09:40:19 PM
I have a project wednesday (which is a gay one), that i hvae to play a song about what were learning at the time and describe it and i cant find anything.

I dont know enough songs from led zeppelin era, and the only song from rage agianst the machine was Down Rodeo but i cant really explain every stanza since everything in the song isnt about discrimination.

I couldnt find any system of a down songs. And i had the same problem with 5 minutes alone by Pantera as i did with Down Rodeo.

Any ideas?

edit: I know rap songs are filled with it..but id like not to have to do rap unless i really have to.

Short People Got No Reason To Live

Short people got......no reason to
Short people got......no reason to

Liiiiive…

They got little hands and little eyes,
and they walk around tellin’ great big lies…

They got grubby littles fingers,
and dirty little minds.

They gonna get you every time.
Well, I don’t want no short people… ‘round here”

(Randy Newman, 1977).

Thats what i mean. Dont jump on me, but theres more rap songs about discrimination more than the kind of music i listen to. Whether it be racial, gender, etc.

Thanks for the help.


Edit: I was going to do buffalo soldiers but someone did that today. And someone did black and white a couple days ago.
