Can you name 10 overtly political Sonic Youth songs?
I'll give you the first two:
1. Youth Against Fascism
2. Peace Attack

You're ignoring their interviews which they seemed to talk about politics in every one of them. Sure you'll screech that that doesn't make them a political band or something.
Edit:add to that the amount of benefit concerts they'd played over the years.
