If you miss me at the back of the bus
This protest song is about the times during the Civil Rights March, where people came together for a common purpose; which was to fight for freedom, respect, dignity, economic and social equality. This song was written by Peter Seeger.
This protest song by Neil Young was against the war in Iraq and against George W. Bush. His whole album which includes this song is anti-Bush and anti-war.
These two songs are similar in the way that they both want to deliver a strong message towards the political and social situations during the time periods. They’re different though in their lyric forms and their genre of music. Let’s Impeach the President is more rock while If you Miss me at the back of the Bus is more soul and gospel. In addition, Neil Young’s song is basically delivering a direct message while the other one has more of a subtler message with song lyrics that doesn’t say everything directly.
