Protest Song

“War”, by Edwin Starr was the United States number 1 song in 1970.

This song was written to protest the war, and encouraging peace through out the world.

“Words I Never Said” Lupe fiasco

This song is protesting the wrong things in society , racism, hatred, violence, terrorism etc. and is encouraging us to speak out and voice our opinions on them, mobilize and do something about them.

The songs are different in many way, im sure the type of music is different due to the times the songs were made, but the essence of the songs are the same, they are both protesting the same issues that have been going on forever.
