NickD Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 It depends on the politics. If you mean National Politics or Personal Poltiics. If you mean Personal, than pretty much all of their songs. If you mean National, then Holiday, American Idiot, Desensitized and Minority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redundantle Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hmmm... I'd have to say that "Minority," "Holiday," and "American Idiot" are probably their most politically geared songs... But I had to agree with the last post that it all has to do with whether you want Nationally Political songs or Personally Political... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbk Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 well ok, if you are talking about society and media. then yeah. if you are talking about politics then not so much.Society and media are political subjects.

St_Jimmy815 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I always loved Macy's Day Parade. It's pretty but also kinda depressing if you listen to the lyrics. But I think Jesus of Suburbia is pretty political. The whole 'City of the Damned' part just seems very powerful to me because I looked up the lyrics to the song right around the time my school screened 'Invisible Children'.
