Revolutionary Music

The Dead Flag Blues by Godspeed You Black Emperor!

The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this:

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"

You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
For sure it's the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood
 
hmm I have an awesome song sung by amparo ochoa about liberty and revolution ;)

amparo ochoa is great!
i have many many latin revolutionary music which this game needs
lots of zapatista music eg 'mexico insurgente'
of the sandinistas eg mejia godoy brothers 'no pasaran!' and others
victor jara
quilapayun
inti illimani
Ali Primera
silvio rodriguez
classics like 'venceremos!', 'el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido' etc
songs of che guevara
songs of the bolivarian revolution - of hugo chavez and the FARC
etc etc
i have many many more also!
i like the game its just im not really punk fan, but it definately needs latin revolutionary music if you want it
 
yeah, i would love to have some more civ specific music

what does the community think of civ specific sound tracks?



i agree if it is possible!
but would it be difficult to find music for the capitalist block? britney spears x factor stuff!?
or could just seperate them by language? 3 english 3 spanish no?
i am on soulseek or if you want me to send some music through some other way just tell me if you need it!

put in hugo chavez for the next one!!!!!!?
 
the next mod will have multiple leaders to choose from each bloc!!!

and for music, i was actually gonna put country music for the USA.


YES MULTIPLE LEADERS!
what about for the american rebel bloc? will you have leaders? maybe people like malcolm x etc?

i wouldnt mind country music. i never would play as USA! but would you put in Toby Keith? i think you should.

there is a lot of good political rap as well

hey if i have ideas for the latinamerican area ill put them in main thread?
just on cities, leaders, great people etc. i just got a lot of ideas a while ago just suggestions
 
My soulseek is Bianezzi

I'll be on today all day long.
 
I just stumbled upon a band called Anti-Flag :)

Some of their songs:

Got the Numbers said:
You push and push a people, what are they to do?
Soon this corporate run government will be through
You see, it doesn't represent the people anymore
Big business are the pimps and governments' their whores

We don't need more time to talk over a solution
We know what we need, we need a . .. .. .. .ing revolution
We don't need your war machine, or your filthy blood stained dollars
We've got one thing you don't have, we've got, we've got, we've got...
GOT THE NUMBERS!

To you the masses are not even human beings
We're dogs that will be grateful for any scraps you leave
But even dogs will only put up with so much abuse
Keep stealing from us like you are we're gonna let loose

We don't need more time to talk over a solution
We know what we need, we need a . .. .. .. .ing revolution
We don't need your war machine, or your filthy blood stained dollars
We've got one thing you don't have, we've got, we've got, we've got...

GOT THE NUMBERS!
We've got...we have...
WE'VE GOT THE NUMBERS!
We don't need more time to talk over a solution
We know what we need, WE NEED A . .. .. .. .ING REVOLUTION!!!

We don't need your war machine, or your filthy blood stained dollars
We've got one thing you don't have, we've got, we've got, we've got...
GOT THE NUMBERS!

This Machine Kills Fascists said:
We've run out of patience,
You've run out of time!
This scene will not fall victim
To your violence or lies.

Your "values" are nothing
But excuses to start fights.
Quit fronting like you're standing
For a moral cause tonight...

United as one, we won't stand aside,
You tried to . .. .. .. . with our scene... We're gonna . .. .. .. . your life !!!

This machine, this machine. This machine... THIS MACHINE,
KILLS . .. .. .. .ING FASCISTS!
Dead... That's right, DEAD!

You don't have to be a rascist,
To be a Nazi, . .. .. .. . !
Your mindless nationalism
Gives you credentials enough.

You spew your right wing rhetoric,
When we got your attention...
You've mistaken the punk scene
For the Republican Convention!

No more infiltration, no more right wing lies,
You don't belong in our scene... We'll fight you 'till we die !!!

This machine, this machine. This machine... THIS MACHINE,
KILLS . .. .. .. .ING FASCISTS!
Dead... ahhh... DIE!

Go!

States lies dressed up as evening news
We're tired of lies we want the truth
Broadcast by corpses courting you
We're tired of lies we want the truth
Most people they will never know
We're tired of lies we want the truth
With your or against you?
Then I am against you because you're a...

TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF!

In your corner
Makes me wanna
Douse myself in gasoline!
Civil servants fall in line for you
Too brainwashed to see the truth
You use anyone you can!

The Press Corpse said:
The {Downing Street} memo says...

...We gotta work to make the facts fit the false charges
Pull the wool over the eyes of the filthy masses
Stab the people in the back for the corporate choice
Roll the propaganda out using The People's Voice

We don't want to talk about it...

The press scribble scribble every half-truth spoke
Then shoot it round the country like an April Fools joke
Hype the nation for a Desert Storm love affair
Wave the stars and stripes like you just don't care!

They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night
They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew

They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute

And on the TV screen...
...Diversion and aversion is the flavor of the day
Was it WMDs? Or Democracy?
Blame it on MI-6 or the CIA
The White House Press Corpse only has one thing to say...

"We don't want to talk about it!"

The White House boils over, "Al Jazeera got it wrong!"
The Press Corpse jumps onboard singing the White House song
While over in Iraq thousands are dead because of lies
The spineless war drumming-press corpse have taken lives

They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night
They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew

They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute

Fires fueled on endless lies
Black shrouds coat desert skies
A nation's viewpoint blurred and led
As embeds report what they're fed

We don't want to talk about it...
We don't want to talk about it...
We don't want to talk about it...
We don't want to talk about it...

(We don't want to talk about it...)
We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk about it
(We don't want to...)
We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk

They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute

I have a Big Revolutionary Music Update.

Since the RIAA can be a . .. .. .. .. . sometimes, i want SR3 to have only "Indie" or Independant label music. What that means, if you want to submit some songs, make sure that they are "local" music. Like your own city, local.

Alot of 2nd rev music is already underground local, most of it will stay!!
And i might keep in songs that are older than 25 years.

But, sadly, I'm going to remove the pop tunes out of the mod. Good news is, we can put a whole sh*tload of underground music!!!
 
Lol... Tony, I was just looking through your project and ran across this. Would you believe that I'm friends with the sister of the lead singer/songwriter for Anti-Flag? Anyway, what kind of revolutionary music compilation doesn't include the Internationale? http://www.hymn.ru/internationale/index-en.html And nothing from Pete Seeger? Really??!?

welcome over to the revolution.

i would love to add some more music. the only rule is that i either have permission from the artists, or that they are "indie" or small label and want publicity. im not hosting sue-music anymore and the RIAA and ilk can SUCK IT!!!
