I've always thought "Doll Revolution" by The Bangles would be a good one - it's very catchy but the lyrics need to be adjusted. The chorus below is easily changed to Paul revolution instead of doll revolution. Couldn't find a good clip of this online
What’s that sound, it’ll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They’re takin' over and they’re tearin' it down
It's a doll revolution.

Arcade Fire has some great lyrics that can be interpreted as anti-state, Ocean Of Noise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qf2lnp9sco):
An ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Now who here among us
Still believes in choice?
Not I
No way of knowing
What any men will do
An ocean of violence
Between me and you
"Ocean of violence" = the state, the state’s use of violence that prevents us from having peaceful relations as everyone is fighting for control of the government.
"Now who here among us Still believes in choice" = Health-care mandate anyone?!
The whole song Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH_7_XRfTMs). Just replace the word “sprawl” with “state”
They heard me singing and they told me to stop,
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock,
These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose,
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface.
Cause on the surface the city lights shine,
They're calling at me, "come and find your kind."
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small,
That we can never get away from the sprawl

Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
and all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
So you children of the world,
listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
you must be brave
Or you children of today are
Children of the Grave, Yeah!

Sepultura - Refuse/Resist
Chaos A.D.
Tanks on the streets
Confronting police
Bleeding the plebs
Raging crowd
Burning cars
Bloodshed stars
Who'll be alive?!
Chaos A.D.
Army in siege
Total alarm
I'm sick of this
Inside the state
War is created
No man's land
What's this shit?!
Refuse/resist
Refuse
Chaos A.D.
Disorder unleashed
Starting to burn
Starting to lynch
Silence means death
Stand on your feet
Inner fear
Your worst enemy
Refuse/resist

AA Bondy - "American Hearts"
We were raised by wolves
And we are still wild
And we howl when the troubled wind blows
And in the TV's blue light
Oh, assassins will lie
Every wail just a-goin' down slow
So don't tread on me
For I am your brother
I was born with an American heart
And don't tread on her
For she is your sister
She was born with an American heart
All the people you meet
Down in the streets
May be good but they don't wanna know
So they cover their eyes, for
Who wants to be sad?
Life is sweet at the bottom of the sea
And don't tread on me
For I am your brother
I was born with an American heart
And don't tread on her
For she is your sister
She was born with an American heart
And the mothers will cry,
Fathers stay up all night
With the worry that goes to the bones
And if your God makes war
Then he's no God I know
'Cause Christ would not send boys to die
And don't tread on me
For I am your brother
I was born with an American heart
And don't tread on her
For she is your sister
She was born with an American heart
Don't you get low as hell
When the peace dove is felled
By men with the blackest of minds
And above the din
Let the sighin' begin
As we're bound for the longest of days
So don't tread on me
For I am your brother
I was born with an American heart
And don't tread on her
For she is your sister
She was born with an American heart

Give it Revolution by Suicidal Tendencies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXrue2VW24c&feature=related
Give It Revolution
Throughout all time and history
The world's been mauled tyranny
Now we're refusing to take it
The worst evil the world has saw
Were crimes defended by the "law"
Deny our rights and we'll break it
You got to break the chains that hold you down
Crush the tyrants to the ground
Freedom cannot be legislated
We'll bow down to no other one
The Father and His Son
They can't deny what he's created
Most wars never should have been thought
But this is a war that must be fought
We'll take a wrong and we'll right it
The greatest weapon of the fascist
Is the tolerance of the pacifist
We've got to stand up and fight it
We'll give it
You got to give it revolution, give it revolution
We're gonna give it revolution, give it revolution
You got to give it revolution, give it revolution
We're gonna give it revolution
Well you can put a bullet in my head
But you can't kill a word I've said
You got the disease, I got the solution
No matter how much or more you try,
you can never ever make this martyr die
I give it revolution
Revolution!
You could put a bullet in my head
But you can't kill a word I've said
Give it revolution
No matter how or what you try
You can never ever make a martyr die
Give it revolution
Revolution

I don't have the lyrics handy, I'm on my phone, but look up 'Break the Silence' by Killswitch Engage and/or 'Snooze Button' by Snot. Snooze is a bit more blatant about how we're getting screwed and the majority is asleep, but Breaking is just amazing.

I've got loads of revolution friendly jams if you're into heavy and experimental stuff, like:
Look What I Did (http://ihatelookwhatidid.blogspot.com)
House of Cards - 2003
http://lookwhatidid.bandcamp.com/track/house-of-cards
lyrics
"'Open the deck
Fingernails in the plastic, gently, gently, gently
Careful not to damage the plastic makes perfect makes perfect
Makes structures such perfect
Piles and Piles of
The architecture, arts and leisure, whores and beggers, beg for better
A gust of wind can erase the foundation, the patience, the effort is wasted on making
Piles and Piles of
Kings, Queens, 2's, 3s, how fragile all these things
It takes such flimsy parts to make a House of Cards
Carefully balancing intricate curvature gently, gently, gently
The six and the jack are now buckling under the pressure
The King is such corpulent heavy
Piles and Piles of
The weight and measure, trash and treasure, pain and pleasure
obtuse gets the pressure
Form against function a swaying impression
a contractor paid with his sweat for the measure of
piles and piles of
All this grand presentation
Colors, fine decoration
Built to please
Piece by piece
Makes no matter
Shortly after
A King and pauper, lead to slaughter, fertilize the ground
your life is, too fragile, to balance on"

For a price I'd do anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
You'll see there's something going on
Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due
I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
CHORUS
Revelution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gota push, gotta push it on through
I'm tired of all this bullshit
They keep selling me on TV
About thte communist plan
And all the shady preachers
Begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their
Secretaries the slam
They're all in Penthouse now
Or Playboy Magazine
Million dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
Fame fifteen minutes long
Everyon'es using everybody, making the sale
I used to think
That only America's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies
CHORUS
I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook

Go with the original rock and roll patriot/revolutionaries - the MC5 - Lyrics to American Ruse are sort of fitting but of course nothing beats ".... and right now .... it's time to .... KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHERF##CKERS" - maybe get brother Wayne Kramer involved. The only band with the guts to play at the 1968 Democratic Convention amidst the riots.
Guns and Guitars (http://books.google.com/books?id=d7vRwnwuZFEC&pg=PA112&lpg=PA112&dq=mc5++guns&source=bl&ots=pJrTaQOmAC&sig=R_g5H6tYMUKBUSIBmI9N8E53zHU&hl=en&ei=oJBbTdPOEZK6sQOUsYiWCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=22&ved=0CK8BEOgBMBU#v=onepage&q=mc5%20%20guns&f=false)

THE AMERICAN RUSE
( Words & music by MC5 )
They told you in school about freedom
But when you try to be free they never let ya
They said "it's easy , nothing to it"
And now the army's out to get ya
Sixty nine America in terminal stasis
The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses
I'm sick and tired of paying these dues
And i'm finally getting hip to the American ruse
I learned to say the pledge of allegiance
Before they beat me bloody down at the station
They haven't got a word out of me since
I got a billion years probation
Sixty nine America in terminal stasis
The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses
I'm sick and tired of paying these dues
And i'm sick to my guts of the American ruse
Phony stars, oh no! crummy cars, oh no!
Cheap guitars, oh no! Joe's primitive bar... nah!
Rock'em back, Sonic !
The way they pull you over it's suspicious
Yeah, for something that just ain't your fault
If you complain they're gonna get vicious
Kick in the teeth and charge you with assault
Yeah, but i can see the chickens coming home to roost
Young people everywhere are gonna cook their goose
Lots of kids are working to get rid of these blues
cause everybody's sick of the American ruse
Well well well , take a look around !
Well well well , take a look around !
Well well well , take a look around !
Well well well , take a look around !
Well well well , take a look around !

Over And Over
( Fred Smith )
People talkin 'bout solutions, over and over
'Bout how we need a revolution, over and over
All this talking 'bout ecology, over and over
'Bout how we'll be saved by technology, over and over
While the cat next door spends all his time
Trying to think up new antisocial crimes
I said no, I said hang on a minute now
I set let me outta here
I said no, no, no
People talking revolution, over and over
About a mass execution, over and over
Well I was working in a factory, over and over
Just trying to make it satisfactory, over and over
But all these inclinations toward manic frustration
I want my vaccination against castration
Vietnam, what a sexy war
Uncle Sam's a pimp, wants us to be whores,
I said no, I said I can't take much more of this
You better let me outta here
I said no, no, no
Oh you see I need a release for my frustration
Oh don't you see I can't hold my aggravation
Oh...no, no, no, no
I see people dyin', over and over
While others sit around crying, over and over
I see people taking, over and over
While others sit around waiting, over and over
The cop on the street wants us down on our knees
The president says we've got to have peace
The other cat says we need our liberation
The hippies telling us we're in the love generation
I said whoa, I said hang on a minute now
This can't go on much longer
I said no, no, no
Over and over, over and over
Over and over, over and over

True story.
The lead singer of Foxy Shazam used to work at the Goodwill in Batavia, OH and I bought a used piano there from him.
He told me he was in this band called "Foxy Shazam" and I should check them out. (This was before they were famous, I guess).
