Gather round fellows I`ll tell you some tales about murder and blueberry pies
And heroes and hells and bottomless wells and lullabys legends and lies
And gather round ladies come sit at my feet I`ll sing about warm sunny skies
There`s mermaids and beans and lovin` machines in my lullabys legends and lies
Lullabys legends and lies and lies lullabys legends and lies
I`ll sing you a song then I`ll shuffle along with my lullabys legends and lies

I love protest songs, of all kinds, all eras, all genres, pretty much all the time. Like many here, I'm particularly fond of protest songs from the 60s & 70s; I'm such a folkie, it's embarrassing. I have no expertise but lots of enthusiasm, and I so hope you'd contribute some of your knowledge and experiences of the songs. First, what is a protest song? Phil Ochs has the best definition of them all. Please see below.
