How about some THEORY 6, the theme music for The Ripple Effect Podcast
THEORY 6: War For Peace https://youtu.be/-6FSreAt9pI
Radiohead is the best band on this planet. Their lyrics are very cryptic and philosophical, but almost always anti-establishment in one way or the other. The album ‘Hail to the thief’ was dedicated to George Bush and the rise of fascism. The album ‘Kid A’ is about the Atomic bomb and the start of World War III. They shocked the music industry by releasing their music for free on the internet.
Some examples:
Analyse
How everyone is caught up in the rat race and there is no time to think things through.
Knives out
About Social Darwinism, eat or be eaten.
Dollars and Cents
How our economic system is crushing human psychology.
Electioneering
About lying politicians.
2 + 2 = 5
Orwellian reference, how people can be made to believe anything, even if it’s obviously false.
The Gloaming
“The next song we’re gonna do is a song about the rise of fascism and the right wing. The only way to stop them is to do something. If you do nothing, they’ll win. And these people are fucking crazy.” – Thom Yorke before performing this song.
Thanks for the contribution, Bart. I appreciate it. I hate to be that guy, but as a die hard Smashing Pumpkins fan I’m going to have to point out (as I always do) that the Pumpkins beat Radiohead to the “multi-platinum artist releasing an album for free on the internet” prize by seven years:
Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music
Cool, I didn’t know that James. Do you know other artists that did this? I tried searching the internet, but funny results come up…

1994. One of the teenagers in this crowd is me. I must admit I haven’t listened to much Smashing Pumpkins since, but I will give it another try.

Cog – Are You Interested – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcMVMStrlxs
Cog – Swamp – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOA-zWWhFV8
Cog – Problem, Reaction, Solution – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7vH1j6LtZM
(yes I’m a huge fan)

Thanks Broc! These are great!
I humbly offer my own composition, the Third Tower Dub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbWUo5q90LE
Excellent – funny, never realised geraldo turned became a truther after that protest…
Michael Jackson – They Don’t Care About Us
Look at the futuristic military uniforms, the marching, the US flag and the torch, the funny arm movements. Obvious references to fascism.
Great to see another truth music and lots of other suggestions from subscribers – Here’s a few more to add to the list:
One that always get’s me motivated is Alabama 3 – Rise Like Lions
which riffs on Shelly’s famous poem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Masque_of_Anarchy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgmNI5qlEGY
Scottish band Primal Scream deserve some kudos for getting some strong messages to a relatively mainstream audience. This is the brilliant 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdCraT9_wk4
And this is Swastika Eyes from their infamous Glastonbury set in 2005 when they replaced Kylie as headliners at short notice and lead singer Bobby’s best effort to build rapport with the audience was to keep chanting: ‘the war on terror is a pretext to establish an international police set’ at them – not your usual BBC 2 Sunday viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrQWqBk3uy0
Not sure if you’ll all agree this counts as truth music but I think it does and it had me in stitches the other night: Ursula Burns – Dry your Eyes Jesus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_9okZKv9PY
Finally here’s the first part of a little video I’m currently putting together based on a sort of truth/music mash-up I made a while ago, (I guess you could call it a Truth Musical!)…music by Nas / vocals by Barry Soetoro
http://eyeisbloke.com/2015/05/11/reflections-on-an-american-dream-1-war-is-peace/
Interested to hear peoples take on Korn’s album “A Path to Totality” It’s a great album. It seems anti-establishment to me but I tend to twist music to what I want it to mean, and abandon the artists meaning, which I am not sure is a good habit or not. Also interesting that it’s on the Road Runner label which has an interesting history of its own, but now is solely owned by warner brothers ðŸ™

Great stuff guys, discovering lots of new truth tunes here! Thought I’d add a few more.
“Scavenger” by School of Seven Bells. As Eli mentioned a few posts above, this one could be more or less left to the listeners’ interpretation and not what the artist specifically had in mind. For me, the lyrics represent how we might feel toward the kind of people in power (their sociopathic/power-hungry behaviour, how they use & abuse the public), especially if we ever felt confident in trusting them. – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww2GvE9GoDs
“Revolution Movement” by Southpaw Swagger – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY4VsD8dkVs
“True Lies/End of Days” by Vinnie Paz & Block McCloud – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoHUZ4I_xTQ
“Not Ready to Make Nice” by The Dixie Chicks. This song is a response to the attacks on them and their remarks about President Bush in 2003 (check the second link for more on that).
– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHH8bfPhusM
– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lCQZeG9OWI
“Lives In the Balance” by Jackson Browne – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljIVuQdQnRk
“Chant Down Babylon” by Bob Marley – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibqJi5elHv0
“Revolutionary Vol. 2” album by Immortal Technique (This might have been mentioned before but I’m not sure). – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH3HnokBh8g
“Ronin” album by Zack Hemsey. I mentioned Zack in my previous comment, but the whole album deserves looking at IMO (Ronin = Samurai without a master). – http://music.zackhemsey.com/album/ronin
Same with The Refusers. –

Also it’s important to keep in mind that as motivating and fired-up as some truth music may be, it’s important not to make hatred, violence, etc the main goal. James explains this better than I can – https://www.corbettreport.com/corbett-report-radio-277-hatred-is-the-heart-of-the-nwo/
These are all hip hop:
Immortal technique-cause of death
(This song woke me up), bin laden, bin laden remix, open your eyes, 4th branch
ill bill- society is brainwashed
Talib Kweli-learn truth, beautiful struggle, the proud
Vinnie Paz-you can’t be neutral on a moving train
k rino- grand deception, hidden agenda
genocide- wake the f*ck up, free Palestine
Lupe fiasco-words I never said
Krs one-higher level
Lowkey-terrorist?,voices of the voiceless
Public enemy- son of a bush
Diabolical-truth pt2
Retrospek-chemtrails
Payday Monsanto-9/11 truth
Az- we can’t win
Homeboy sandman-illuminati
Beast 1333- mouth of madness
Non Phixon- the c.i.a is trying to kill me
Just found that: WILLIAM COOPER FT. ILL BILL – “BEWARE OF THE PALE HORSE” Official Video.
Hollywood (and politicians) in a nutshell;

I can’t find the artist or the song anywhere.
