I quite like Public Image Ltd and and Rise.
Not sure it was written as one though.
Where are they all? Don't hear much these days.

The Feeding Of The 5000.
Track one side one was 2 1/2 mins of silence titled “the sound of free speech”
The reissue had real words.

I first heard Strange Fruit whilst watching something on Netlfix, the name of which name escapes me. It chilled me to the bone, Holiday's performance coupled with a powerful scenario, haunting and sublime at the same time.

Just two bars on my iPhone,
My Flat screen TV sucks,
Brexit gave us empty shelves,
'cos no one drives our trucks.
That Covid made me work at home,
I'm furloughed to the max
Can't take my hols in Spain or Rome
And now I pay more tax...

Masters of War - Bob Dylan. Naive perhaps but strong in its sentiment.

Good call. And there was me thinking you were the sort of chap who would have to listen to Billy Bragg through clenched ears.
No One Would Riot for Less by Bright Eyes would be my shout.

How about No Surprises by Radiohead. A protest against apathy.

Not sure if this classifies as protest song but The Bells of Rhymney is a cracking tune by the Byrds:

'Imagine' is the biggest, most twee, cliched, naive, sentimental piece of shit ever written.
Don't tell the Paul-haters.
