Thread Name: Your favourite Protest song.
Subject: RE: Your favourite Protest song.
Woody's Pretty Boy Floyd is another favorite with those great final verses which still ring true -

Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.

And as through your life you travel,
Yes, as through your life you roam,
You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home.

Richard Thompson wrote at least a couple of good ones in Time to Ring Some Changes and Mother Knows Best. Dylan's Masters of War still gets my blood boiling.
