		The group performed their new song "Bomb Da World." The clip was cut, presumably because the lyrics, including the chorus "You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into peace," were too controversial.

		As to protest songs of note, the ommision of Dylan is somewhat shocking.

		The only genuinely thoughtful protest songs on that list are "Fortunate Son" and "What's Goin On?" "99 Red Ballons" is just a cool song, but it may too much of a pop trifle.

		But there will always be protest music of the sort that first endeared Dylan to a mass audience, and that confirmed the power of song to move not just a generation but a nation.

	Blogcritics.org: Clear Channel banning protest songs?
		What I found on Snopes is that Clear Channel never officially banned any songs from its playlists after 9/11, but that some program director had compiled a list and circulated it as an ad hoc guide.
		I did find a list posted on someone's blog, which I originally thought was this new list of banned protest songs.
		This is a re-circulation of the same list of songs bouncing around in the ether after 9/11 — same story of Clear Channel banning songs, same list, same lack of verity.

	Would you protest these songs? \| TPMCafe
		This protest song about the Vietnam War was one of the first Motown songs to make a powerful political statement: "It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker / War / Friend only to the undertaker / War."
		I was thinking of the songs I love wailing, most of them included in the list (I would add Nina Simone's Backlash Blues) and it made me think of some contemporary songs.
		Think of how fast a song could be disseminated (perhaps illegaly) to every youth around the world once that fire is lit.
