You’re probably right. Hate the man/power-to-the-people protest stuff just doesn’t go with conservatism very well, and rock has that chaotic vibe whether the song’s about politics or not.
I think some of it works just because in the end there isn’t a lot of difference between the ultra far right and left. For instance, a lot of Nine Inch Nails recent stuff has been aimed at the problems with the Bush government. However, it can/will be just as easily directed at a Democrats administration.
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
