It's an interesting twist that I actually tend to dismiss 'protest songs' which are conceitedly over-written
by the smug self satisfied 'over educated and much too vainly articulate' show off pompous 'intellectuals' ... 🙄

I judge the quality of a 'protest song' by it's simplicity, not it's intellectuality...

Then again it's a difficult balance between direct and simple, and wankily trite...???
