"I really wanted a decent job, I really needed some scratch
(I heard people talking about a dream, now, a dream that I couldn't catch)
I really wanted to be somebody and all I had was a match
Couldn't get oil from Rockefeller's wells
Couldn't get diamonds from the mine
If I can't enjoy the American dream, won't be water but fire next time
So I said
Burn baby burn
Burn baby burn
Nowhere to be, and-a no one to see
I said-a nowhere to turn
Burn baby burn"
Frederick Douglass Kirkpatrick & Jimmy Collier - Burn Baby Burn (1968)

A protest song by my friend Jonathan Jensen. He's the guy playing bass at 1:13.
Every day brings freakier bad news. All musicians need to crank out some protest songs. About anything, whatever’s messing with your mind, heart and soul. #protestsongs #protest #music #musician
This one is from 2018 - #protestSongs #punk #noiseros
anti-trump and stuff man, yeah...
Lyrics:
Black face white face, about face
red face brown face, about face
man face woman face, about face
gay face straight face, about face
I’m tired of the news
tired of the blues
tired of the clues
tired of the terror
tired of the barrier
I’m tired of the hate
no food on the plate
tired of being pissed
we gotta hold up our fist …
Black face white face, about face
red face brown face, about face
man face woman face, about face
gay face straight face, about face
It’s taking its toll
It’s taking too long
Why aren’t you gone
Why aren’t you gone
Get a glimpse of the dream
hold on tight to the bill of rights
before we come apart at the seams
we gotta take this trash out
focus less on the cash out
foolin’ some of the people all the time!
It’s way past you doin’ the crime
I see the writin’ on the wall
the tea leaves begin to crawl
for the slipperiest criminal of them all
a serpent of a man
who sides with the Ku Klux Klan
no more buyin’ and a sellin’
buckets dry in our wells
but you got chandeliers in the lobby
grabbin’ pussy for a hobby
you got no reverence for this land
you got no reverence for its people
they murdering us in our schools
and under the steeple
nationalistic and fascistic
narcissistic and sadistic
tiny hand on the button
jonesin’ for goin’ ballistic
authoritarian & un-American
it’s taking its toll
its taking too long
why aren’t you gone
I am American

There were a lot of songs by the #Weavers that have made good protest anthems: If I Had A Hammer, Wasn’t That A Time, etc. I doubt they thought that “Bay of Mexico” would be another one, but here we are.

Thinking of the CFA strikers on the picket line across the #CalState system today.
Stay strong!
