I have an assignment where I need to write a 350 word essay on a controversial political song of my choosing. So general, I ask you to provide me with the most vulgar, offensive, and controversial song that you know of. Cursing is a plus since I get 20 extra points for censoring it!

Try Eminem. Songs like Kim and Kill You are pretty controversial and has lots of swearing in them.

Actually, I got a better idea. There's a song called "Fuck Santa" on the Internet somewhere. Google it.

Scratch that. Don't Google it. Google "stick your Christmas up your ass" instead. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to bleach my brain.

Fuck The Middle East
by S.O.D.

Fuck the middle east
There's too many problems
They just get in the way
We sure could live without them
They hijack our planes
They raise our oil prices
We'll kill them all and have a ball
And end their fuckin' crisis

BEIRUT, LEBANON-Won't exist once we're done
LIBYA, IRAN-We'll flush the bastards down the can
SYRIANS and SHIITES-Crush their faces with our might
Then Israel and Egypt can live in peace without these dicks

Just, don't, DON'T do America Idiot by Green Day.

Finding an Eminem one should be easy enough though, or perhaps DMX with his homosexual undertones.

Do you mean just controversial, or does it have to have a political theme too?

S.O.D. -"BOOM"

anyone else like them
BOOM!
I've been walking through your streets,
Where all your money's earning,
Where all your building's crying
And clueless neckties working,
Revolving fake lawn houses,
Housing all your fears,
Desensitized by TV,
Overbearing advertising,
God of consumerism,
And all your crooked pictures
Looking good, mirrorism,
Filtering information,
For the public eye,
Designed for profiteering,
Your neighbor, what a guy.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the god your child has born,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.

Modern globalization,
Coupled with condemnations,
Unnecessary death,
Matador corporations,
Puppeting your frustrations,
With the blinded flag,
Manufacturing consent,
Is the name of the game,
The bottom line is money,
Nobody gives a f**k.
4000 hungry children leave us per hour,
From starvation,
While billions are spent on bombs,
Creating death showers.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the god your child has born,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM

Why, why, why, why must we kill, kill, kill, kill
Our own, own, own, own kind...

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the god your child has born,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM
Every time you drop the bomb.

Lyrics:
ladies and gentlemen introducing the chocolate starfish,
and the hot dog-flavored water,
bring it on,
get the fuck up,
yeah
check one, two,
listen up listen up here we go (here we go)

it’s a fucked up world
a fucked up place
everybody’s judged by their fucked up face
fucked up dreams, fucked up life
a fucked up kid with a fucked up knife
fucked up moms, and fucked up dads
a fucked up cop with a fucked up badge
fucked up job, with a fucked up pay
and a fucked up boss, It's a fucked up day
fucked up press and fucked up lies
while lethal’s in the back with fucked up eyes

hey, its on
everybody knows its on
hey, its on
everybody knows its on

ain’t it a shame that you can’t say fuck fuck fuck
fuck’s just a word and it’s all fucked up
like a fucked up punk with a fucked up mouth
a nine-inch nail get knocked the fuck out
fucked up AIDS FROM fucked up sex
fake-assed titties on a fucked up chest
we’re all fucked up so, whatcha wanna do?
with fucked up me, and fucked up you

you wanna fuck me like an animal
you LIKE to burn me on the inside
you like to think i’m a perfect drug
just know that nothing you do will bring you closer to me

ain’t life a bitch a fucked up BITCH
a fucked up SOUL with a fucked up stitch
a fucked up head is a fucked up shame
swingin’ on my nuts it’s a fucked up game
jealously THRILLS up a fucked up mind
it’s real fucked up like a fucked up crime
if i say fuck two more times, that’s 46 fucks in this fucked up rhyme

hey, its on
everybody knows its on
hey, its on
everybody knows its on

you wanna fuck me like an animal
you LIKE to burn me on the inside
you like to think that i’m a perfect drug
just know that nothing you do, will bring you closer to me

you, can’t, bring, me, down,
i, don’t, think, so, (i know so)
you better check yourself,
before you wreck yourself

kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish, punk
kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish

you wanna to fuck me like an animal
you LIKE to burn me on the inside
you like to think i’m a perfect drug
just know that nothing you do, will bring you closer to me

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.

I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all awaaaaaaaaay.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.

Ohh, someone mentioned Tool, that one up there works. As does 'Schism' apparently about the great schism of the catholic church? Meh, that is what someone told me.


Tool - Schism

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing,
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn’t mean I don’t desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication.

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I’ve done the the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion

Between supposed lovers
Between supposed lovers.

And I know the pieces fit.

I have an assignment where I need to write a 350 word essay on a controversial political song of my choosing. So general, I ask you to provide me with the most vulgar, offensive, and controversial song that you know of. Cursing is a plus since I get 20 extra points for censoring it!

Well, what I had in mind is not, actually a SONG...what it is is an example of an old-style art form called fast patter, where a person speaks very, very fast.

The title of it is "Religion and Politics" and it is by Scott Beach.

(to be read outloud in one breath)

Religion and politics often make some people lose all
perspective and give way to ranting and raving and carrying
on like emotional children they either refuse to discuss it
with reason or else they prefer argumentum ad homeinem which
is a hell of a way to conduct a discussion well anyhow not
long ago I was talking about the elections and how the
campaigns were ignoring the issues and sticking instead
to invective and personal crap that had nothing to do
with the substantive problems of running a government
which is all true as you know if you followed the speeches
and so called debates of the candidates anyhow one of the
guys I was talking with said not a word in the whole
conversation except at the end when he suddenly chuckled
and said we were all full of **** and why didn't we all go
live in Russia or China if that was the way we all hated
the United States of America next thing you know the whole
blooming discussion is more like a brawl and the epithets flew
thick and fast and the noise was incredible someone said "son of
a bitch" and I think he said "bastard" I couldn't be sure it was
all so confusing well anyhow I was attempting to get it all
back on a rational level I tried for example to talk to the
one who had started it all and I asked him just what did he
mean we were all full of **** was he making a statement of
fact as he knew it and where was his documentation to back
up his claim I think Socrates would have been proud of the
way I refuted his argument that is I tried to refute it but
all he could offer by way of rebuttal was more of the same
about how we were all full of **** but he wouldn't say why
he just kept on repeating it that and the part about Russia
and China and Communist dupes and I'll have to confess that
I got a bit angry and told him to stuff his ideas up his ass
which you don't have to tell me is hardly a way to convince
anyone in an argument then he got salty and threatened to
give me a punch in the mouth if I didn't shut up and I really
got hot and the others did too and we all beat the **** out
of Mr. Conservative and after all he had only himself to be
blamed this is still a free country and anyone telling a
fellow like me "brother you're full of ****" better be
good and ready to answer politely when asked if he'd care
to say why!"

Note: The ****'s all are "shit" which is replaced in the recital by funny noises in the actual performance of this piece.

Not sure if this is quite what your looking for, but for a lot of country fans, this song is very controversial. Never before has a song pissed me off so bad that I absolutely refuse to support the singer's career:

Have You Forgotten?
By Darryl Worley

I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend

Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet they remember
Just what they're fighting for

Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?

No vulgarity, but considering it is one of the best songs ever written, you won't need the bonus points.

A Change Is Gonna Come
(Sam Cooke)
As Performed Sam Cooke (1964)

I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like the river, I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

I go to the movie, and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me "Don't hang around"
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

Then I go to my brother and I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees

There've been times that I've thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

No vulgarity, but considering it is one of the best songs ever written, you won't need the bonus points.

A Change Is Gonna Come
(Sam Cooke)
As Performed Sam Cooke (1964)

I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like the river, I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

I go to the movie, and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me "Don't hang around"
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

Then I go to my brother and I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees

There've been times that I've thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come


Ah, the late, great Sam Cooke!! Did you know he started his career as a Gospel singer?

-snip-



A lot by tool is like that. Take Eulogy for example:

He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
We’ll miss him. (2x)
We’re gonna miss him (2x)

So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren’t afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don’t cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We’ll miss him. (2x)
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We’ll miss him. (2x)
We’re gonna miss him (2x)

No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all.

But it was so loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and i
Swallowed his facade cuz I’m so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.

Will you?
Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don’t you fuckin’ lie.

Don’t you step out of line. (3x)
Don’t you fuckin’ lie.

You’ve claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?

You had alot to say.
You had alot of nothing to say.

Come down.
Get off your fuckin cross.
We need the fuckin’ space to nail the next fool martyr.

To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies. [sic]
Goodbye...

Actually its better when you hear the odd rhythm

Why they wanna see my spine?

Much worse than last time
Am I gonna see God, mommy?
Am I gonna die?
It really hurts mommy!
Am I gonna die?
Smile on mighty Jesus
Spinal Meningitis got me down

I'm feelin' greasy mommy
Please don't let me die
Stinky vaseline mommy!
Please don't let me die
Am I gonna see God, mommy?
Am I gonna die?
It really hurts mommy!
Am I gonna die?
Smile on mighty Jesus
Spinal Meningitis got me down

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
bull-shit three ring cirrrrcus siiiideshow of
Freaks here in this, hopeless fucking, hole we call LA.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time.
Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.
It's a bull-shit three ring cirrrrrcuus siiideshow of
freaks here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time.
Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit...
One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.
(Learn to swim. 3x)
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to beeeeeeeee.

(Learn to swim. 8x)
Fuck L Ron Hubbard and Fuck all his clones.
Fuck all these gun-toting Hip gangster wannabes.
(Learn to swim. 8x)
Fuck retro anything. Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and Fuck your short memory.
(Learn to swim. 8x)
Fuck smiley glad-hands with hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional, insecure actresses.
(Learn to swim. 8x)
Cuz I'm praying for rain
and I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all awaaaaaaaaay.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it come down.
(Suck it down. 2x)
Flush it down.

Another great song. Called Aenima, though.

If its political or has some sort of witty social commentary would be a plus. I don't want to do a song thats vulgar for the sake of being vulgar.
Then everyone has failed you.

The only ones I can think of currently that have some sort of political undertones are Eminem - Mosh and Gorillaz - Dirty Harry.

If it's political you want, try Political Science (Let's Drop The Big One), by Randy Newman. I've posted it before, but it bears repeating.

Political Science

No one likes us-i don’t know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let’s drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they’re spiteful and they’re hateful
They don’t respect us-so let’s surprise them
We’ll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia’s crowded and europe’s too old
Africa is far too hot
And canada’s too cold
And south america stole our name
Let’s drop the big one
There’ll be no one left to blame us

We’ll save australia
Don’t wanna hurt no kangaroo
We’ll build an all american amusement park there
They got surfin’, too

Boom goes london and boom paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another american town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We’ll set everybody free
You’ll wear a japanese kimono
And there’ll be italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let’s drop the big one now
Let’s drop the big one now

"God Thinks" by Voltaire. No swearing I'm afraid, but it was definitely controversial to MY high school religion class (I go to a private Catholic high school).


God thinks all blacks are obsolete farm equipment
God thinks the Jews killed his son and must be punished
God thinks the white man is Satan
God, they know what God thinks

God thinks we should all convert to Judaism
God thinks we must all be Christians and
God thinks we should all embrace Islam
God thinks the only true religion is Hinduism

And I
I know what God thinks
God thinks you're a waste of flesh
God prefers an atheist

God God
God thinks all people like you are evil
God thinks all people like you are an embarrassment to creation
self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw the stone
and use His name for your own protection

God thinks the sun revolves around the Earth
God thinks there was something very wrong with Copernicus
God thinks abortion is murder and
God thinks everything that science gave us is wrong
God thinks women deserve it
God thinks AIDS is a form of punishment

I hate people who blame the Devil for their own shortcomings and
I hate people who thank God when things go right

And I
I know what God thinks
God thinks you're an idiot
God prefers a heretic

God God
God thinks all people like you are evil
God thinks all people like you are an embarrassment to creation
self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw the stone
and use His name for your own agenda

God is a liberal
God is a democrat
God wants you to vote republican
never trust a man who puts his words in the mouth of god
and says it's absolute truth
it's lies and it smells like death
it's all in a day's work taking money from the poor
Why do you think that God would need your dirty money
if he wanted to start a holy war?

self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw the stone
and use His name for your own protection

God thinks puppies need to die and
God thinks babies need to drown
'cause God is neither good nor bad
God is you and me
God is Everything
