Politcal songs

I am trying to find political songs that are a little more modern, or fit into these times quite well. And considering I am at work.... funny how things like this seem very important in those stolen moments between TPS reports.... I have not been able to fully explore my catalog of songs. Here are a few that pop out for me:

Empire - Dar Williams
16 Military Wives - The Decemberists
Take it Back - Barenaked Ladies


Any others? Suggestions are welcome!

Update: Hopeful political songs are good too. Because I have severe Decemberists on the brain:
Sons and Daughters - The Decemberists

Neil Young
Neil Young's latest album, released earlier this year, was called "Living with War" and has a lot of songs that would fit, including my favorite, "Let's Impeach the President."

John Mayer - Waiting for the World to Change

I think this song nails it for the upcoming generation.
