Glad you mentioned Billy Bragg -- Everywhere is one of the most cohesive and emotional protest songs I've ever heard.

    I never got home, my platoon was never saved That little fox hole became my island grave Lee got out of jail but a prisoner he remained Till he ended his own life to lose that ball and chain

    And they said Oh Little Slanted Eyes can't you forgive and forget And he said, Oh Mr Friendly Ghost Can you catch water in a net?
