Holy shit how could I forget Sublime.

As early man walked away,
Modern man took control,
There minds are all the same,
And to conquer was their goal,
So he built his great empire,
and he slaughtered his own kind,
He died a confused man,
Killed himself with his own mind.

we're only gonna die for our own arrogance,
so we might as well take our time.

Rise Against - Prayer Of The Refugee....
Rise Against - Worth Dying For

Strike Anywhere - To The World -this song has one of my favourite quotes ever...
" I pledge allegiance to the world. Nothing more, nothing less, than my humanity. Until the last lock breaks, none of us are free."

Sorrow by Bad Religion
Violent Pornography by System of a Down, especially that easy-to-miss last line "Turn off your TV"

Come to think of it, most of the music by both of these bands is pretty inspiring.

DEAR GOD by XTC

Dear god, hope you got the letter, and...
I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image, see
Them starving on their feet 'cause they don't get
Enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you

Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard
Loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting
In the street 'cause they can't make opinions meet about God,
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make
Mankind after we made you? And the devil too!

Dear god, don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on
A lot of quotes in this book, and us crazy humans wrote it, you
Should take a look, and all the people that you made in your
Image still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't, and
So do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in

I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no
Devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always
Letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you
Drown. Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the
Whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that
Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax,
And if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon
My sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you....
