    Share here songs with a political message or songs about politics or anything else like that that you enjoy or don't enjoy. Whatever. You get the point.

    I'll start by sharing this old, Swedish song about the murder of Lincoln. No idea why it is so happy and sarcastic, but I like the melody. No idea why they call him a "King" either lol:


    Roughly translated:
    Have you heard the dreadful news,
    It is true 'cause it happened just now
    The King of Northern America has been shot
    Yes, shot into pieces

    Sha lalalala
    The King of Northern America was shot
    Yes, shot into pieces

    A thug came in through the door
    And was he ugly or what?
    In his hand he carried a rifle
    Loaded with bullets and with powder too

    Sha lalala
    In his hand he carried a rifle
    Tnat was loaded with bullets and with powder too

    He shot the King in the melon
    So his head fell from his neck
    And the blood flew all over the walls
    And the servant yelled "yes, please?"

    Sha lalala
    And the blood splashed all over the walls
    And the servant yelled "yes, please?"

    Goodbye said the honourable King
    Up to heaven's glory I go
    Where angels all wave tneir hands
    'Cause they're having such a great time

    Sha lalala
    Where angels all wave their hands
    'Cause they're having such a great time

    Some exaggeration, it was a single shot derringer, not a rifle, President Lincoln
    was shot in the back of the head, and it was a .44 caliber short barreled pistol.

    No more 16 tons loaded deeper in debt or too tired for a Saturday night thanks to her.

    Hasn't been a coal mine in these parts for well over 30 years now.

    'Coal power, what's that?'

    A couple of communist, imo. But to each his own.



    Just one of the reasons for " the immigration man " ,

    Research Mexico's immigration men and the way they treat ILLEGALS there.

    Most wars are about the ' treasure ' they want from others. I'm not anti war either but I am anti illegal wars for profit.

    When we came to this new nation there were continuos wars going on between the natives here. And these people had short lives till we arrived. BUT, we also took too much and gave back too little, imo. The story of man I guess.

    Right wingers are too wise to sing socialist songs when they built the best nation the world had to offer, but slacked up and let the lefties destroy it from the inside out.
    The difference in a real conservative and a socialist hypocrit is a real conservative will protest all wars no matter who starts them, a liberal will never protest against warmongers like Obamas and Clintons .

    Right winger rockers,

    Kiss
    Von Jovi,
    Alice Cooper,
    Charlie Daniels
    Ted Nugent
    etc,etc,etc,...
