It was replaced by the far more awesome Twisted Sister song...

Where is Rage against the Machine's "Killing in the name of"?
They had to pull out a few ancients, in order to do that they took out some good more current bands.

F*ck tha Police and Fight The Power are classics.
Another possible addition would be Refugee by Tom Petty.

It could only have sucked more if the Beastie Boy's "Fight for your right" had made it.
For real! I'm starting to think some 80 year old, non-hip, libertarian made this list up.
Clueless....That song ain't a protest song....its a spoof!
I mean, if you are going to that era and type of music why not War Pigs by Ozzy...?
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!

It starts with get up stand up so hiow can it go wrong.
Little boxes is real hoaky but many on here are not quite old enough to remember the post war generations attempt to make life a horrendous monotony.
I remember the feeling of being put in a box as a small child. You were a little girl so you had to like This and that and act like this and that. It was an insane attempt to make life completely predictable for the post war generation.
