Surprised that no one came up with Billy Bragg's World Turned Upside Down. A ballad to the historical radical grass roots protest that contains the lines 'Though we are poor, You Diggers all stand up for glory, Stand up now' surely resonates with out times.

Kings of Convenience - Scars on Land
[video=youtube;JgzyIkiCDMU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgzyIkiCDMU[/video]
"We take what's dead
And breathe life in
And move like knives
Through scars on land
Still untouched
No stain of hands
Caramelized
In a tilted light
No chain stays unbroken
All aims get forgotten
The weight of lead
On floors of sand
The idea reduced again
To outcome
No chain stays unbroken
All aims get forgotten"
