"Surrender Under Protest" is a Mike Cooley song from American Band, the eleventh studio album Drive-By Truckers put out on ATO Records on September 30, 2016. The Truckers once ran on three songwriters; by now it was down to two, and American Band was only the second record, after English Oceans, built that way, so every Cooley tune had to pull its weight.
David Barbe, the band's long-time collaborator, produced and mixed it and engineered alongside Matt Ross-Spang, with the album cut in the summer of 2016. The record around it holds the most political lyrics the band had written up to then, and it even looked different: for the first time since Pizza Deliverance in 1999, the cover art wasn't by Wes Freed.
