One of the most biting songs I ever heard is Tom Robinson's "Glad to Be
Gay", which is on the first album by the Tom Robinson Band and also on
the Secret Policemen's Ball album.  Tom Robinson is an outspoken gay
rights activist who has worked with 2 really good bands (TRB and Sector
27) producing some really powerful music.  Equally powerful is "Power in
the Darkness" (I forget which album it's from) which gets in its digs at
all of those who would suppress human rights for any- and everyone.
