Songs about the media

[Guest thuganomics88]

I'm making a a mini-documentary for a school project about the media and I'm looking for songs that I can use. The closest one I have right now is Green Day's American Idiot but I don't really wanna use it unless I have to. Also, I'd appreciate it if it doesn't have to much foul langauge since it's for a religion class.

You could look into Pennywise probably, they have loads and loads of music about society\the media. Not sure about any of the media off the top of my head.

Look at A Perfect Circle's eMOTIVe album. Cover songs about war and such...I'm sure some have some media aspect to them as well.

Possibly APC - Let's Have A War.

[apsham]

Thrusday might also be a band to look into, they write a lot of songs that are driven like so, maybe even Anti-Flag.

[RPS]

Underground Network by Anti-Flag

and

No Bloody-Thirsty Corporations [NBC] by Anti-Flag

[sirdavinator]

Tyranny of Normality by Papa Roach could be one. I still can't comprehend it's meaning. It does have the word 'media' there though.

Eric Burden & War(I Think) - War

it's the song where it's all

WAR! HAH! YAYYAYYAY!

WHAT IIIS IT GOOD FOR?!

And Black Sabbath's War Pigs is about polictians and war.. kind of relates..

[MDK]

Makeshift Patriot by Sage Francis

[Guest Bluesman]

IIRC Vietnow by RATM would qualify.

[Lord Nibbler]

Immortal Technique - The 4th Branch

The hook is:

It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto

The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

A bandana full of glittering, generality

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?

Read about the history of the place that we live in

And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

Hmmmm, I would say F the CC by Steve Earle but the chorus of the song is "Fuck the FCC, Fuck the CIA, Fuck The FBI, Livin' In the motherfuckin' USA". It's a perfect example though. Perhaps REM's Bad Day?

[Evil Chase K]

"Starfuckers Inc." by Nine Inch Nails (?)

[Ash J. Williams]

"No Shelter" by Rage Against The Machine...they say fuck once though.

[Evil Chase K]

Good choice, but it's a horrible song. I think it's more about sticking it to Manson, but it's up for debate.

Have you seen the video for it? Reznor is bashing (literally) Manson, Courtney Love, Billy Corgan and Durst, among others.

Reznor & Manson were "feuding" over something. I forgot which, but they hated each other for awhile.

[Guest Bluesman]

Can't believe I forgot about No Shelter.

Another one would be "Get In the Ring" by G'N'R. When Axl says "Are you pissed off because your dad gets more pussy than you" just say he's talking about the actual animal. Not sure what to use for the "Fuck you, suck my fucking dick" that immediately follows though

[DMN in the House]

Y'all Want a Single by KoRn, although the edited version, with 'Y'all want a single say suck that' errr... sucks. More about the music industry though.

Pennywise is good. There's a lot of punk stuff out there that would be good.

[Guest fultie]

why does he bash Corgan?

[tristy]

why does he bash Corgan?
