I've seen Woody Guthrie's guitar that has "this machine kills facists" on it.

Rufus Wainwright - Going To A Town 2009

I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm going to a place that has already been disgraced
I'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down
I'm so tired of America

I'm gonna make it up for all of The Sunday Times
I'm gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes
They never really seem to want to tell the truth
I'm so tired of you, America

Making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead

Tell me, do you really think you go to hell for having loved?
Tell me, enough of thinking everything that you've done is good
I really need to know, after soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America

I really need to know
I may just never see you again, or might as well
You took advantage of a world that loved you well
I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you, America

Making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead
I got a soul to feed
I got a dream to heed
And that's all I need

Making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone
I'm going to a town
That has already been burnt down

@#18 ... The Pogues - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda ...

A fav tune of mine.

I've posted that version of the song on this most august website a couple of times.

I have it on the album, "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash."

Also, another version by Joan Baez on the Ring Them Bells album.

YMMV ...

Bruce Cockburn - If I Had A Rocket Launcher (2005 concert of a 1984 song)
www.youtube.com

If I Had a Rocket Launcher
en.wikipedia.org

... Background

"If I Had a Rocket Launcher" was inspired by Cockburn's visit, sponsored by Oxfam, to Guatemalan refugee camps in Mexico, where he witnessed helicopters attacking refugees.[1] He said in a 2010 interview that the song was intended to express his dismay over the plight of Guatemalan refugees.[2] Speaking on the song's subject matter, Cockburn said that "one of the most striking things was seeing the strength of people in incredibly desperate situations."[1]

Cockburn was concerned that "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" would be misinterpreted by some listeners as a call to violence and almost decided against recording it for this reason. He ultimately decided to go forward with including the song on Stealing Fire over his belief that listeners would understand the song's intent.[3] ...
