It's according to if it's like Dylan and indirect or if it's simply in your face with little wit.

If there is not wit involved then most of the time it's "talking points" or cliches that get used and it's a crappy song.

A good song will have a solid melody and provoking lyrics...it should cross boundaries in being a good song for non political folks and for politically conscious folks. Think "Rage Against the Machine" or Dylan.
