I have every single Rush studio album up to Vapor Trails. Obviously I can't stand them. ;-) Another good song about persecution along the same vein is CCR's "Effigy."

Lyrics:

Last night
I saw a fire burning on
The palace lawn.
O'er the land
The humble subjects watched in mixed
Emotion.

CHORUS:
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy.
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy.

Last night
I saw the fire spreadin' to
The palace door.
Silent majority
Weren't keepin' quiet
Anymore.

CHORUS

Last night
I saw the fire spreadin' to
The country side.
In the mornin'
Few were left to watch
The ashes die.

CHORUS

Why?
Why?
Why?
Effigy.

The song was covered a number of times by different bands, most notably by Gov't Mule and Uncle Tupelo.
