I never thought about Mylene's F**k them all as a political song
Then, Zazie's Adam et Yves can be mentioned
though it is gay song/anthem & J'étais là

Probably the entirety of What’s Going On (the album). But the big songs including the title track, Mercy Mercy Me and Inner City Blues are standouts.

Whether or not people here like it “Rich Men North Of Richmond” was very powerful at calling out the corrupt politicians in Washington and it sure seemed to capture a lot of attention. I am surprised it didn’t catch on more with the Democrats as many arguments could be made about how Republicans are trying to over control peoples’ personal lives.
