We are allowed to pick the song and it can be any genre of music. Me and a friend need a metal song because our teacher take 'Countdown to Extinction' by Megadeth. We thought of other songs but in the end we dont think it will work. Does anyone have any suggestions? And Remember it is heavy metal. It has to be something a teacher would accept in the classroom.

Not quite in the same style as Megadeth but it's a great song about the social injustice in apartheid age South Africa. I actually used this song for a similar project when I was in highschool. EDIT: Also the song "Mother, Father" by Dave Matthews Band is a good one. If you listen to that song just once, you'll get it - it has a very clear message.

Haha I love Dave but me and my friend wanted to do something different than the other kids since we are known as our classes "metalheads" plus its social justice not injustice, which is a big point my teacher hit haha.

But yeah I am not sure if I understood what your looking for. You mean a song how bad the humans are and that they need to change? Then this song would fit: Iced Earth Lyrics - Consequences CODE As human beings, we're a complex thing Sometimes so beautiful, other times so vain We've built an empire, the blood is on our hands Genocide and the chains that bind The consequence ahead Oh, you ought to know Oh, you ought to know Wrote about in history as if it's all O.K. A race of people murdered another one enslaved Now our world crumbles, it's happening within Open your eyes and realize The world we're living in Oh, you ought to know Oh, you ought to know If we could focus on important things Live and let live true freedom, not everyone's the same No more war for your god, no more war for your race It's our world, it's what we make it Make it a better place Oh, you ought to know Oh, you ought to know We can change the world that we're living in Live and let live true freedom Let the reign begin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

What is it exactly you are supposed to do after you pick the song? I ask because I just can't imagine how you fit this into an English class.

Well we pick a song then write a two page essay on why it is social justice and what it can promote. We also have to make a album cover that is a reflection of the song. Please any ideas will help me out big time. She wont let me do megadeth or metallica. I thought about the song 'The Day I left the womb' by Escape the Fate. This is really confusing because she says we can do whatever genre of music we want, but when it comes to me and my friend she wont let us do songs that we are interested in.
