Theoretical Framework The ideologies of anti authoritarianism and social movement in anti flag`s protest song lyrics a critical discourse analysis

advocacy of progressive political action groups such as Greenpeace and Amnesty International. The consistency of this band for sounding social issue indicates this band is suitable for analysis. The data use in the study taken from the albums of Anti-Flag. There are 15 song lyrics selected as the data. As the CDA is a multidisciplinary study, it may take much time to conduct the study. Wodak and Meyer 2001: 99 state “in any practical sense there is no such thing as a “complete” discourse analysis”. They further add even a full analysis of short passage might take months and fill hundreds of pages. Due to that, they consider that the complete discourse analysis of a large corpus or text or talk is therefore totally out of questions. Thus, the data of the present study is limited to the 15 song lyrics in order to limit the focus of analysis and to make a better result of the study. The song lyrics selected purposively for several reasons. Firstly, the lyric expresses protest; the lyric expresses disapproval and the resistance of the society towards the power imbalance. For instance, the line is drawn in the sand S.11. Secondly, the lyric is ideological. It detected as the protest on capitalism and nationalism and the protest as the social movement. Therefore, any clause carries another topic will not be included as the data. Thirdly, the lyrics are linguistically analyzable; it consists of the clear participants and actions. To collect the data from song lyrics are quite uneasy since not all lyrics are written in the form complete clause; such as in declarative or interrogative form. Some lyric are in imperatives and fragmented. For instance, don’t fly those stripes, those starts-and- stripes for me, for me S5 – imperatives and half life – 4.5 billion S.13 – fragmented lyric. Therefore, the imperatives and fragmented lyric are omitted. In collecting the song lyrics, some websites are used. This is because a single website has weakness in providing the data or information needed. Therefore, the diverse websites are needed for the comparison and checking. They websites are such as www.azlyrics.com and www.metrolyrics.com. Those websites are selected because of they are mostly used by the netizen.

3.3 Data Analysis Procedures

The first analysis starts with selecting the clauses that contain the protest. A clause considerably contains protest based on the definition and characteristics of the protest itself. A protest song is a song intended to protest perceived problems in society that could be, injustice, racial discrimination, war, globalization, inflation, social inequalities and so on. The following examples contain protest. S6.C5 They use the common people to settle their scores. S6.C8 I would rather fight to spread some tolerance unity than I buy into their nationalistic brainwashing. S8.C8 So, we march on to raise our voice because we are left with no choice. The example S6.C5 contains the protest in the word of “blame”. Anti-Flag as the speaker blame government they for using the society the common people. The next example S6.C8 is about the “opposition”. The speaker opposes government’s nationalistic brainwashing. The last example 3 carries the protest as the form of social “resistance”. The selected lyric then labelled with a code referring to number of song and clause. It aims to create a well-organized data and to help doing analysis. The codes such as S6.C5 and S6.C8 refer to the running number of song S and the clause C. Thus, S6.C5 means song number 4 and clause number 5. There is also a code, S1.C1a. The use of ‘a’ means that a clause consists of more than a part. S.13C5a-c We dont need more time to talk over a solution. We know what we need, we need a fucking revolution.
