This in particular struck me:
"A message to terrorists everywhere. You can run .. but you can't hide""We are not going to tolerate these attacks from outlaw states""We will not cave in ""Today we have done what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong "
Sounds exactly what Dubya is saying now, except 20 years ago. Thank you for this persepctive, Def Leppard!

Lemme tell ya, that song's been going through my head more than once these days -- and not merely because it sounds so great. ;-)

Also, I remember a hardcore band from NJ who had a song whose chorus went "Nazi, nazi, Reagan's a Nazi/Nancy Reagan is *also* a Nazi!"

Also, two Phish songs, one part of an allegorical song cycle written in college, the other more direct and written in high school, I think, both pretty dumb:
