I was thinking about how Bruce Springsteen is the only artist I know of who has written a protest song lately and I was wondering if anyone else had any good recommendations since... 2016 or so.

Edit: so many great recommendations! Thank you all!

願榮光歸香港 (Glory to Hong Kong) Protest Song during 2019 Hong Kong Protests...

(And... of course Youtube now age-restricts this video... was fine for the past 7 years... wtf)

Here's someone's reupload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe1gTPcWyds

The original lyrics in Cantonese are lit, the English version doesn't even feel the same

This song is illegal in anywhere under PRC control, but I'm lucky to have to privilage to sing this as an Overseas Chinese
