Do you know of any class-conscious or anti-capitalist children's songs or nursery rhymes? (communick.news)

At bedtime, my toddler now knows how to tell me they want me to sing a different song. I am running out of songs so have begun to pull at the church songs that are forever lodged in my brain from my upbringing. I don't like the idea of teaching the messages in these songs. It led me to wonder if there are songs with good social messages that are appropriate for children. It's a stretch but I hope you all can help me out!

Try to make an a capella version of some punk songs.

Dead Kennedys- Let's lynch the land lord:

"But we can. You know we can. But we can. You know we can. Let's lynch the landlord, man."

Dropkick Murphy's- Boys on the dock:

"Say Hey johnny boy, the battle call. United we stand divide we fall. Together we are what we can't be alone. We came to this country and made it our home."

It's always fun to go "Say Hey"
