Would Sacred Reich's"Who's to Blame?" count, although it's more of a commentary on family dynamics. I don't know why I mention that one, when SR have so many other politico-social commentary songs, such as:
Death Squad Ignorance No Believers Administrative Decisions Surf Nicaragua One Nation The American Way Crimes Against Humanity State of Emergency Etc. |

...even a track like "KKK Bitch", which is a quite humourous and sexually explicit track, oozes social commetary.

I was actually thinking about this the other day, did RATM make any songs that weren't political or social commentary?

^ I haven't heard that song, but just by the name it already sounds relevant.

How about "Cop Killer" by Body Count? Seems relevant in the US at the moment

Well, as you might have seen, being a metalhead that you probably are, a thing that metal artists like to do it point out flaws in our system of government and as a society itself.
What are some of your guys' favorite metal/non-metal songs that talk about social issues? I'll start with a Staind song that I can't stop listening to lately : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEfU4ss98ZA |
