Top-10 "Honorable Mention" Protest Songs

As I promised y'all yesterday, I've compiled a list of what I consider the "Top-10 'Honorable Mention' Protest Songs of All Time." I just couldn't get every single great tune on the original Top-20 list. So, for those of you who didn't see your faves there, here's a little compensation:
Top-10 Honorable Mentions & My Commentary:
10.) "Bring Them Home"-- Bruce Springsteen: An Iraq-era protest tune by the Boss. The melody is haunting and countrified, and the lyrics are gritty, straight-up, and honest. Classic Bruce!
9.) "With God on Their Side"-- Bob Dylan: This song tells the painful truth: Our childhood history books were full of lies. With characteristic razor-sharp, learnedly folksy, sarcastic wit, Bobby D tells it like it is.
8.) "Jena"-- John Mellencamp: In this neo-classic protest tune, the 80s superstar from Seymour, Ind., makes a plea for the end of racial violence in America. Don't worry, John, we're listening!
7.) "Buffalo Soldier"-- Bob Marley: Here, Marley discusses the irony of black soldiers being allowed to fight in the U.S. Civil War (1861-65), only to be sent out West to slaughter Native Americans.
6.) "Born in the U.S.A."-- Bruce Springsteen: Perhaps the most misinterpreted lyrics in the history of popular music. Ronald Reagan used this as his 1984 campaign theme song, much to the staunchly Democratic New Jersey native's chagrin. Actually, this is a call to action for us to recognize the sacrifices of our vets and their families. No one (who's performing today, at least) captures the true essence of patriotism quite like the Boss.
5.) "The Man in Black"-- Johnny Cash: What can I say? This song says it all.
4.) "Fortunate Son"-- Creedence Clearwater Revival: CCR examines the most tragic irony of war: Rich, old men wage it, their sons don't have to fight it, and poor young men are sent to it to pay the ultimate price or to come back never the same again.
3.) "Where Is the Love?"-- The Black-Eyed Peas: I consider this to be the first post-9/11 protest song.
2.) "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll"-- Bob Dylan: This is the sad, true tale of a racially motivated murder of an African-American maid in a Baltimore hotel that was committed by William Zantzinger-- a wealthy, well-connected young man whose wealth and connections helped him squeak by the justice system with a criminally light six-month prison sentence. You can listen to this song (Track #9 on The Times, They Are A-Changin') and see how far we've come as well as how far we have to go as a society in terms of our racial attitudes.
1.) "What's Goin' On?"-- Marvin Gaye: This question could be easily asked today. Interestingly, Motown founder Berry Gordy didn't want Gaye to release this song because Gordy thought it would bankrupt Motown Records. Gaye defied Gordy, the song became the company's best-selling single ever, and the rest is music history.
Okay, that officially concludes the countdown. I know I still missed a few great songs. Maybe I should do a Top-40 countdown sometime. If anyone would like to offer his or her suggestions, please feel free to do so.
