Read the descriptions. I disagreed with some (Sympathy for the Devil???), but the reasoning is semi-sound.

How about “One for the Vine” by Genesis? Like many of their songs there are a LOT of lyrics, but it’s a very interesting story:

Fifty thousand men were sent to do the will of one.
His claim was phrased quite simply, though he never voiced it loud,
I am he, the chosen one.
In his name they could slaughter, for his name they could die.
Though many there were believed in him, still more were sure he lied,
But they’ll fight the battle on.

Then one whose faith had died
Fled back up the mountainside,
But before the top was made,
A misplaced footfall made him stray
From the path prepared for him.
Off of the mountain,
On to a wilderness of ice.

This unexpected vision made him stand and shake with fear,
But nothing was his fright compared with those who saw him appear.

Terror filled their minds with awe.
Simple were the folk who lived
Upon this frozen wave.
So not surprising was their thought,
This is he, God’s chosen one,
Who’s come to save us from
All our oppressors.
We shall be kings on this world.

Follow me!
I’ll play the game you want me,
Until I find a way back home.
Follow me!
I give you strength inside you,
Courage to win your battles -
No, no, no, this can’t go on,
This will be all that I fled from.
Let me rest for a while.

He walked into a valley,
All alone.
There he talked with water, and then with the vine.
They leave me no choice.
I must lead them to glory or most likely to death.

They traveled cross the plateau of ice, up to its edge.
Then they crossed a mountain range and saw the final plain.
Still he urged the people on.

Then, on a distant slope,
He observed one without hope
Flee back up the mountainside.
He thought he recognized him by his walk,
And by the way he fell,
And by the way he
Stood up, and vanished into air

Respect Yourself by The Staple Singers.

If you disrespect anybody
That you run in to
How in the world do you think
Anybody’s supposed to respect you?

If you don’t give a heck ‘bout the man
With the Bible in his hand
Just get out the way
And let the gentleman do his thing

You’re the kind of gentleman
That want everything your way
Take the sheet off your face, boy
It’s a brand new day

[Chorus]
Respect yourself, respect yourself
If you don’t respect yourself
Ain’t nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na, na, na, na
Respect yourself, respect yourself

[Verse 2]
If you’re walking ‘round
Thinkin’ that the world
Owes you something
‘Cause you’re here
You’re goin’ out
The world backwards
Like you did
When you first come here

Keep talkin’ ‘bout the president
Won’t stop air pollution
Put your hand o’er your mouth
When you cough, that’ll help the solution

Oh, you cuss around women folk
And you don’t even know their names
And you’re dumb enough to think
That’ll make you a big ol’ man

[Chorus]
Respect yourself, respect yourself
If you don’t respect yourself
Ain’t nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na, na, na, na
Respect yourself, respect yourself
Respect yourself, respect yourself

Stuck Mojo has a bunch of them. A proudly conservative metal band. The guitarist and chief songwriter (Rich Ward) and drummer (Bud Frontsere) are both playing in Fozzy.

They also wrote Open Season. CAIR complained to the government about the lyrics.

It wasn't meant to be conservative, but Neil Young's "Find the Cost of Freedom" is the quintessential Memorial Day song.

Here are a few of my favorites.

• "Six Days On the Road" by Dave Dudley (1963)--Not exactly rock and roll, but it's my favorite song from the Sixties. It celebrates individual freedom and monogamy as well as contempt for bureaucratic regulators.

• "God, Country, and My Baby" by Dorsey Burnette (1961)--At the height of the 1961 Berlin crisis, a serviceman is ready to be shipped "across the Rhine" to to defend the West.

• "West of the Wall" by Toni Fisher (1962)--This song about the Berlin wall was a chart hit that remained a popular "oldie" in some markets.

• "Take the Time" by the Shangri-Las (1967)--This pro-Vietnam War record was the last to be released by The Shangri-Las, a vocal group that had a string of hits in the mid-1960's.

• "Wish You Were Here, Buddy" by Pat Boone (1966)--Boone's send-up of the war protesters got some airplay in this area in the fall of 1966.

• "The Universal Coward" by Jan and Dean (1965)--Taking a break from singing about surfing and hot rods, Jan and Dean came up with a devastating rebuttal to Buffy Sainte Marie's egregious "Universal Soldier."

• "The Dawn of Correction" by The Spokesmen (1965)--A powerful rejoinder to Barry Maguire's "Eve of Destruction."

• "Love That Bomb" by Dr. Strangelove & The Fallouts (1964)--a paean to nuclear weapons.

• "Tennessee" by Carl Perkins (1955)--Perkins reminds listeners that the first atomic bomb was built in Tennessee.

• "The Ballad of Pancho Lopez" by Lalo Guerrero (1955)--Guerrero's tale of a poor Mexican boy who rises from poverty to success through hard work and entrepreneurship sold well in Los Angeles.

• "Midnight Mary" by Jerry Cole (1963)--A song that celebrates the American dream. An ambitious young man finds a job and then sets out to make money, acquire a home, and marry his girl friend. An antidote to songs about losers such as the Four Seasons' "Dawn" and Dickie Lee's "Patches" that, for some reason, were big hits at the time.

• "Welfare Cheese"--Emmanual Lasky (1963)--Government agencies used to provide huge chunks of cheese to the needy. The singer is asking JFK to give him some.

• "Shake it Over, Sputnik"--Billy Hogan & the Twi-Lighters (1958)--"Well, move over, Mr. Muttnik, you've got to make room; yeah, shake it over, Sputnik, for the US moon. Rockin' 'round the globe at a terrible pace, Alabama's contribution to the conquest of space."
