Spent some time thinking about this one and landed on Crippled Black Phoenix - love of shared disasters. They're always good for fighting the system of oppression.

Sturgill Simpson- A Sailor's Guide to Earth
This album's last track is the incendiary anti war Call to Arms. From Genius.com:
In this last song of the album, Simpson sounds off on the military activities of the United States. He gives his son some final words of advice: don’t get tricked into joining the military and be aware that much of what the media tells is just nonsense.
The irony of the title, “Call to Arms,” is in the song’s message that despite all the machismo in images of US soldiers going to fight in the name of “freedom,” there’s more strength and courage in resisting the propaganda messages about military service than in taking up those arms “in a politician’s war” (as he calls it in “Sea Stories”). So it’s a call to arms against the US military rather than a call to take up arms for them.
