Libertarian Anthems

I have been compiling a CD of liberty-related songs (or those on the theme of revolution) for our Harrisburg Tea Party.  I decided to post the list here, since my searches for libertarian songs proved less than satisfying, and NRO's list of Top 50 conservative rock songs had a lot that didn't quite make sense for the audience. 

After weeding out the pro/anti war songs, the Stand By Your Man values-themed songs, pro-drug use songs, pro-life songs, anything too slow, and anything with inappropriate language, here's what I came up with.  It gets weaker further done the list, so recommendations to improve the list are encouraged.
  • We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
  • Revolution - Beatles
  • Don't Tread on Me - Metallica
  • Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
  • Authority Song - John Mellencamp
  • I Won't Back Down - Tom Petty
  • Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols
  • Taxman - Beatles
  • I Should Be Allowed to Think - They Might Be Giants
  • Cult of Personality - Living Colour
  • Government Cheese - Bad Side
  • Fight for Your Right to Party - Beastie Boys
  • Working Class Hero - John Lennon
  • Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen
  • Get Over It - The Eagles
  • For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield
  • Pink Houses - John Mellencamp
  • Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man) - Styx
  • Rat in Cage - Smashing Pumpkins
  • Nothing's Gonna Stop Us - Starship
