You should post Stars and Stripes of Corruption by the Dead Kennedys
4th of July is a great track but I always preferred the version (slowed down acoustic) that was done on one of his albums which I had many years ago on pre-recorded cassette - but I remember it had a different title in the UK from the album that was released in the USA. Still a great song and Dave Alvin is a massively underrated singer/songwriter.
