Poll question: Best 1980s song related to a charitable/awareness cause? (English language version)
Not that there's a non-English version coming, since I don't know any of those songs. :) Which one of these do you feel is the best song, regardless of the cause?

2. As far as awareness goes, I would definitely pick
this Public Service Announcement (with guitar)

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
(All three of them!)

Number 1
You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a CRIME!
Unless it was done by a
Policeman or aristocrat
These are your rights
Know your rights.

And Number 2
You have the right to food money
Providing of course you
Don't mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation
Know your rights
These are your rights
Know these rights.

Number 3
You have the right to free
Speech as long as you're not
Dumb enough to actually try it.
Know your rights
These are your rights
All three of 'em.

It has been suggested in some quarters
that this is not enough!
Well...
Get off the streets
Get off the streets
Run
You don't have a home to go to

Finally then I will read you your rights:
You have the right to remain silent
You are warned that anything you say
Can and will be taken down
And used as evidence against you.
Listen to this:
Run.
