Political songs are a double edged sword - they have to be good to work. Anything that becomes didactic loses its creativity. As in art, where painting can be degraded to storytelling, yes, it tells a story but can be pedestrian. Art and music dominated by politics means politics wins.
Music is life flowing on unrestricted, unfettered.
