I got yelled at a couple times for singing the title song from "Marat/Sade" ("The Persecution and Assasination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the Direction of Monsieur de Sade") --

"Four years after the revolution
And the old king's execution
Four years after remember how
Those courtiers took their final bow.

String up every aristocrat!
Out with the priests and let them live on their fat!"

Four years after they started fighting
Marat kept on with his writing
Four years after the Bastille fell
We still recall the old battle yell --

Down with all of the ruling class!
Throw all the generals out on their ass!"

I think if my mother heard me sing it now forty years later, she'd still get upset. Let's just say we don't discuss politics . . .
