Battle Hymns, 1998
Written by the Suicide Machines
Unfortunately, this is not the punk cover of the Elvis Costello song that we all want and need, but an original. It's more fast-paced hardcore musically and snarling vocally than their typical ska-punk sound, but the new approach fits the theme of this song. The lyrics are a good-intentioned, if somewhat ham-fisted, declaration against racism. "Some persecute their brothers because of the color of their skin, oh yeah / Well that's wrong." Seems pretty on the nose, but the people who need to hear it aren't known for subtlety, anyway.
