Your obsession that because it's not "overt" (word of the week people) it's not political is glib. Think it's a desperation to hide the fact that your political views are the exact opposite of sonic youth's.

Sonic Youth's recorded output is, what, +/- 300 songs? We are struggling to cobble together a list of 5 political songs; therefore, my conclusion is they are not a political band.
I'll concede
Youth Against Fascism,
Peace Attack,
Chapel Hill (one of my all-time favorite SY songs), and
Shoot (you missed that one). The rest are a stretch, IMO.
