This Is Rock: Songs That Rock But The Lyrics Disgust You

From Melkor & M Dick's comments in the last post. This is a problem for the Right Side of the Robinson Clan. Rockers All, how do we justify being fans of bands that we probably strongly disagree with politically? How do we headbang when we "disagree sir with what you are saying". In the comments, list songs that you love that have lyrics you hate. Tell us why they rock and why you hate the lyrics and how you deal with the dychotomy.

I'll do today's 'This Is Rock' contribution to kick it off: Black Sabbath playing War Pigs in Paris in 1970: The Power of Black Sabbath! Bill Ward's aggressive, thundering drums. Gosh, I could watch him play for hours, but not in a gay way. Ozzy's uhm, soaring, uhm vocals. Guitarist Tony Iommi doesn't solo well, but came up with the fantastic riffs that all metal evolved from. Geezer Butler writes the cool lyrics and the scary thundering music and is a fun bassist to watch. But Geezer, what's this hippy shit about Generals gathered in their masses? Well, those of us that served our country know that there are good and bad generals just like everybody, but generally, they wish good not ill for our country and the world. I get past it by thinking Ozzy's vocals are great, the words are fun comic strip movie stuff even if I disagree with them, and the music f'n RAWKS! Admittedly, this disagreement is mild stuff. Easy to get past these lyrics. I'll try to think of a tougher one to discuss in the Comments.

Notice how Ozzy changes most of the lyrics, but it still works. Watch closely for the cool Ozzy dance throughout the song.
