Patriot
(1.1
MB, running time: 2:24)
The
basic message of "Patriot" is
that in a true democracy, it is a patriotic
act to voice your opinion if you disagree
with what your government is doing. "Patriot,"
is expressed from the point of view of a
US citizen who feels this way. You can also
find the lyrics
to Patriot on our website.
From
songwriter, Sam
Turton: "It is my belief that
the Bush Administration is causing great
damage to the economy, human rights, environment,
and safety of the United States, North America,
and the whole world. To correct this damage,
it is essential that Bush be defeated in
the next election." You can find

Peace
March
(6 MB,
running time: 5:12)
Peace
March is a remix of Bush's speeches sliced,
diced and set to an appropriately martial
beat.
From
Pine
Music the creator of this excellent
remix: The f-word for the Bush administration
is fascism. We need to recognize these corporate
brown shirts in America and call them by
their rightful name: Fascists. The mark
of a great nation isn't the freedom its
citizens enjoy during care-free times, but
it is the liberties that its government
and people hold dear when their nation is
threatened. Greatness is gauged by the way
a nation conducts itself in the world --
especially in a hostile world. Republicans
have failed every test. They play to the
nation's worst fears in an ugly effort to
consolidate wealth and power. Orwell would
have been so proud.
About
Pine
Music: Pine is one old guy with
a bunch of audio gear, a loaded laptop and
love of electronica. My political activism
goes back to the late 60s, blocking U.S.
Route 1 with thousands of students at the
University of Maryland, outside Washington,
and throwing tear gas canisters back at
the National Guard to protest the war in
Vietnam. 60s values are now considered quaint
or naive in some quarters. I don't agree.
I hope to release a CD later this year.

Pine Music for more information on this
mp3 and another one they have for free download. |

President
Bush I'm Not Voting for You
(5.1
MB, running time 6:05)
Well
researched pop/folk song by singer/songwriter,

Bush's own words into lyrics that define

Republicans
Rule the World
(6 MB,
running time: 5:10)
This
is another fine satirical anti-Bush folk
song by songwriter Scott Morrison of Scotty
and the Skeptics
About
Scott Morrison: I've been writing for
over 25 years--love ballads, rockers, country
twangers, and the satirical and hopefully
humorous commentaries that appear at Scotty
and the Skeptics site. All the songs
on the site are in my satirical/political
mode, which seems to be my special niche,
and were recorded as song demoes (simple
arrangements, a few missed notes) to pitch
to artists, producers, labels, etc.
I
am the publisher
of a line of well-known music education
posters that are like roadmaps to harmony
for guitar, keyboard, saxophone and other
instruments. We produced our first product,
The Guitar Poster, in 1980, and it has become
a classic. They are available in thousands
of musical instrument stores as well as
directly from us at the site.

Roverland
(1.4
MB, running time: 1:28)
This
is a very funny song sung to the tune of
"Dixie" from the CD called The
Bush Diet.
More
on The Bush Diet: Politically incorrect
as you can get, much like Dubya himself,
"The Bush Diet" is the hit comedy CD featuring
the voices of George, Bill Clinton, Karl
Rove, Pat Robertson, and more. If you cringe
at the word "Bush", at least when it's preceded
by "George W.", or if you just have a twisted
sense of humor and plenty of thick skin,
you'll love "The Bush Diet". 27 tracks on
high-quality audio CD, Rated PG (safe for
the family...your heads will not explode.)
Makes a great gag gift! Get
this CD now! |

Seize
Back the Future
(2.9
MB, running time: 3:04)
Really
terrific rock protest song written, produced
and performed by Bill See. This song is
from Bill's new CD called, Union.
More
on Bill See: Bill See was formerly the
lead singer of the critically acclaimed
LA band, Divine
Weeks. His CD called Union
is an alternative history of the last three
years to the one presented by the national
media, that became little more than an echo
chamber for the Bush administration following
9/11. Union is his first commercially
available solo record. Bill wants to make
sure the right message gets out through
his music.

See by visiting his web

Soldiers
(5.6
MB, running time 6:12 min.)
This
soulful anti-war song by the band Everking
was inspired by the fact that UK has lost
over 100 soldiers in Iraq. The song speaks
from a soldiers' perspective.
More
on Everking: Everking is a project which
started back in 2001 and is currently one
album down the line and working on the second
E.P. They were #1 in the BBC Radio 1 independant/unsigned
charts for about three months and have had
music used on UK Terrestrial and Satellite
Television. Most of the music they write
is fairly upbeat and hiphoppy (the band
cannot be described as "politically-minded")
but the nature of the subject matter pushed
"Soldier" down a more serious path. The
poem at the end of the song is "The Soldier"
by Rupert Brooke who died in 1915. That,
and a coversation with the brother of a
British Forces Squaddie was the inspiration
for the song. Please
visit Everking's website for more information
about this band and for information on their

Sunny
Again
(2.2
MB, running time 2:30)
This
ecletic pop song by Roymond questions blind
patriotism taking over for free speech,
hoping it will be Sunny Again when Bush's
gone.
More
by Roymond on this song: Written in
June 2003, I was tying together Bush's difficulty
making informed, intellegent decisions about
world affairs, and peripheral items like
the Dixie Chicks speaking out against him
and getting accused of being anti-American
or somehow unpatriotic for exercising their
freedom of speech! I couldn't believe this
was happening. "Either you're with us or
you're against us" was being yelled at US
citizens as if we had no right to question
his leadership. Well, I'm not with you,
Mr. President. The beauty of this country
isn't that our President rules unchecked
by its citizenry, but that we can speak
our mind and suggest alternate opinions
and even ask for accountability for your
actions. More than that - I can't wait till
you're gone! You can find more information
on Roymond and his music and download other
mp3s on his

lyrics to this song posted on our website. |

country/pop style song by singer, songwriter

About
Charlene Grant: Charlene writes the
music for each tune according to the feel
of the lyrics, without one particular band
or style in mind. Charlene's new CD, That
Would Be Me, includes styles that
cover the waterfront from the electric blues
storytelling of "Life's Too Short", to the
barroom rocking of "That Would Be Me", to
the Delta blues advice of "Don't Try To
Change Your Man." Her music makes you feel
like you're rocking at your favorite club
or just hanging out at the corner cafe!

Talking
Points
(3.4
MB, running time: 3:47)
Talking
Points is a really terrific anti-war,
anti-Bush, anti-Fox rap/hip-hop tune! Rap
doesn't get much better than this! We know
you will enjoy it.
About
Talking Points: "I wrote
Talking Points in the deep
hope that it can be just one more thing
that leads to the change that this country
desperately needs. So many of the young
people these days are not voting, and no
matter how many MTV 'Rock the Vote' commercials
they see, they still aren't going to.
I believe the only way to get my fellow
twenty-somethings to the polls is help them
to understand just WHY they should go, and
thus the latest song Talking Points
by Bowler was created. It was my intention
to put into lyrics a precise and entertaining
argument for why this change is needed,
and I believe I have suceeded. Clearly,
if you've read the lyrics you'll see that
I also take quite a few shots at the propagandists
in the media who choose to color the news
instead of report it. If we can get people
to understand just what they are watching
(propaganda), perhaps we can open their
eyes."
About
Bowler: Bowler currently resides in
the heart of the Midwest but grew up in
the poor South. As a child of the welfare
system, he worked hard to claw his way from
his humble roots and find a better life
for himself, living the American dream.
Yet to catch his big break, Bowler continues
to plug away in his small home studio whenever
time from his day job allows. Please
visit his website and support this young
artist's efforts and download
some of his other songs. You can find
the lyrics

by SoulPrawn at combining Bush's voice with
hip electronic music set to a great beat
to make an anti-Bush statement. If you
like Terror, you will also
like Game Over by SoulPrawn
that can be found on this list.
More
on SoulPrawn: Raised in France by British
parents, SoulPrawn's extensive travels throughout
the planet and the fact that he spent the
past 15 years in Africa and the Middle-East
with regular visits to the United States,
gave him the ability to observe political
developments in different parts of the world
from a priviliged local perspective. SoulPrawn,
an amateur musician, has only very recently
started working on composing songs, animated
by a keen interest in music (rock, trip-hop,
electronica) and the political conscience
which his observations generated. His very
first compositions are a series of criticisms
of Bush's corrupt regime and it's impact
on America and the world, in which Bush's
voice is used to sing anti-Bush messages.

MB, running time 3:44)
This
is a wonderfully inventive, darkly humorous
anti-war song by the group The Used
Johnnys from the UK built around
the music of the popular song "When

The
Freedom Waltz
(2.9
MB, running time: 3:09)
Once upon a time, someone said "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the people I want to concentrate on." Another person said, "If you repeat a lie often enough, everyone will believe it." So, naïve as I am, I tried to test the hypothesis that if you repeat the truth often enough, at least some people will believe it. Hence, I wrote the song, "The Freedom Waltz." I hope you believe it! I do! Peace, love and freedom! - a folk style song by Ken Swiatek |
|
The
Grifter
(3.6
MB, running time: 3:45)
The
Grifter is a parody of the folk-rock
Paul Simon song, The Boxer. The lyrics
were written by Ken Swiatek and reveal some
real truths about Bush's life. It is sung
and performed with guitar. A grifter is
one who engages in making money by cheating,
swindling, confidence games or graft. Truth
or fiction? Truth or lies? You be the judge.
This song is solidly performed and we think
you will really enjoy the anti-Bush lyrics. |

The
Hand That Feeds
(8.7
MB, running time: 7:37)
This
is Nine Inch Nails' song that was released
into the public domain so others could remix
the tracks. This version has been carefully
and masterfully remixed by Didjake to incorporate
speeches by Bush, Cindy Sheehan and various
anti-war protestors. The samples play off
the lyrics as well as the music. The song
was taken out of its original melodic context
somehwat so it would have broader appeal.
Please feel free to share this song with
others or host it yourself. We thought this
remix was exceptional and we hope you enjoy
it as much as we did.

is a really well done big band/swing pop/blues
style song that decries the loss of personal
privacy and freedom in our country under
the guise of Homeland Security. Terrific
lyrics with a deft sense of humor - excellent
musicianship - and a chorus of backup singers
too.

The
Star Spangled Boner
(1.3
MB, running time 1:21)
This
is a very clever and humorous anti-war song
by the Oakland, CA band: The Sons of Emperor
Norton.
"I wanted to use the National Anthem
in such a manner as to offset the way the
right wing wraps itself in the American
flag to somehow justify the United States'
aggressive, murderous imperialism as some
kind of nationalistic form of patriotism.
Maybe by association, it can jar a few citizens
attention away from the national pastime
and into some kind of constructive awareness
and activism." (J. F. Kaline, '05)
More
on The Sons of Emperor Norton: This
band just released an anthology CD of humorous,
progressively-minded political music that
combines their vintage-country/Americana
songs with the rock/jazz styled tunes of
some other bands. This song is one of 23
songs on their CD called: "The Putrid Minds
Anthology: Battle Hymns for the Blue States."
You can find more information about this
band on their web
site and you can find more information

musicianship! |

Lied
(4.3
MB, running time 4:35)
This
is a humorous but hard hitting anti-Bush
anthem with a fun, upbeat, vaudeville feel
to it, written and recorded by popular entertainer,
Jay Mankita. This song is a serious indictment
of the Bush Administration's lies, the complicity
of the media, a short history lesson, and
an analysis of similarities between Bush
and Capt. James T. Kirk.
More
on Jay Mankita and They Lied:
Recorded at Mark Dann's Woodstock studio,
Mankita plays acoustic guitar and sings,
while Dann adds electric bass and a little
