Abuse Of Power Themed Music
 

Ello! This is my first post on this forum, and I would like to ask for help with a school project that I have.
It is a theme based project, and I need four songs that relate to the theme "Power can easily be abused and must be held in check". Any help would really be appreciated, because I'm stumped and can't find anything.

(And by all means, if I should have posted this somewhere, let me know or move it.)

Thanks!

Phil Ochs "Here's to the State of Richard Nixon"

Thanks sleepy, that one worked.
I still need three more though. Can anyone help?

"Prison Song" by System of a Down maybe?

You could try the "Contagion" album by Arena. It's based around the idea of a virulent strain of man-made disease that gets out and wipes out most of the population of the Earth. Some great songs there, specially "Mea culpa", "Moviedrome" and "Tsunami". Also "The art of reason" by Threshold, from Subsurface. There's also the rather brilliant "The pilgrim's address" from Fellini Days by Fish --- a truly moving anti-war song.

Dang, Thanks Trollheart. The art of reason's lyrics fit in perfectly. I haven't heard the other songs yet, but the lyrics show promise.

F*ck Tha Police - NWA

Cool! Glad I could help! :)

Run like hell by Pink Floyd would work, based on Pink thinking he's a facist dictator and causing riots.
