The last one has maybe my all-time favourite piece of revolutionary lyricism:

The revolution in this tune and verse
Is a bid for my love to touch the universe
Strugglin' over wages and funds
Let the movement get contagious and run
Through the end when it's gauges and guns
And if we win in the ages to come
We'll have a chapter where the history pages are from
They won't never know our name or face
But feel our soul in free food they taste
Feel our passion when they heat they house
When they got power on the streets
And the police don't beat 'em about
Let's make health care centers on every block
Let's give everybody homes and a garden plot
Let's give all the schools books
Ten kids a class
And give 'em truth for their pencils and pads
Retail clerk - "love ballads" where you place this song
Let's make heaven right here
Just in case they wrong

I'm sick
I'm so sick
Of getting sick
Everytime I lose my connection
I'm tired
So tired
Of getting up in the morning
For that long uphill walk
To the methadone clinic
There's gotta be an easier way

Now hold on a second

This burnin'
There's a change comin'
In my blackened spoon
And I suggest to you
That it takes five seconds
Just five seconds
To put a morphine suppository
All the way inside
Brothers and sisters
Do you know what I'm talkin' about?
Yeah
I'm talkin' about a full on
Motherfuckin'
Revolution
