Independence Day Not Exactly Random Ten

I've got rather a ton of good, lyric-based trenchantly cynical or wistfully ideological music appropriate for this Fourth of July, so let's see what the first ten that come up that seem appropriate are. And yeah, if "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" pops, you'll hear about it, as trite as that seems.


American Idiot, Green Day. I figured to mostly get folk songs out of this, but this isn't a bad place to start. Newer can be good. Random can be apt. (Though, I grant you I skipped some Weird Al to get here. If it'd been "Biggest Ball of Twine", I might have felt compelled to go with it.)
"Welcome to a new kind of tension/All across the alien nation/Everything isn't meant to be okay."

God Bless America Again, Bobby Bare. You might recognize this as the song at the end of Canadian Bacon. I was kind of hoping this wouldn't turn up. I'm pagan, I know a bunch of y'all are atheists. Nonetheless...
"God bless America again, you must know the trouble that she's in."

I'm A-Lookin' For a Home, Pete Seeger. Hard to believe this is current again, innit.
"If anyone should ask you why I sing so shrill, tell 'em I'm a discharged soldier a-waitin' on the housing bill."

Seatbacks and Traytables, Fountains of Wayne.
"Trade one town for another, delayed now why did we bother. X on the calendar square, new city, same stuff."

This Land Is Your Land, the Woody Guthrie classic. I was hoping this would come up, but since I have about twenty versions of the damned thing, it wasn't bad odds. You don't know the lyrics to anything but the chorus? You should. Find another set of 'em here.
"Near the relief office, I see my people. As they stood there hungry, I stood there askin', is this land still made for you and me?"

To Have and Have Not, Billy Bragg.
"I've come to see in the land of the free, there's only a future for the chosen few."

Do Re Mi, Woody Guthrie. (I admit it, I skipped "We Shall Overcome" with Pete Seeger. It seemed a bit cloying for the day.)
"California's a garden of eden, a paradise to live in or see, but believe it or not you won't find it so hot if you ain't got the do-re-mi."

I'm Afraid of Americans, David Bowie. I'm laughing too hard to keep going, I think. At least this balances out the Bobby Bare:
"God is an American. God is an American."

Okay, no more. My iTunes is clearly possessed. Your ninth and final song is the Arrogant Worms, We Are The Beaver.
"You might think a rodent is a pretty lame choice for a national animal..."
Never mind. The lyrics are here, there's no way I can do it justice.

Feel free to speculate in comments on what the tenth song might have been. I was holding out for Woody Guthrie's I Got To Know, but the way things are going it's more likely to have been some punk cover of that Simon and Garfunkel song and then I'd never have respected me, which would suck 'cause I'm the only one who bothers.
