Songs with Social Commentary
If humans were capable of governing themselves perfectly, we would have no need of government. Herein, a list of songs about the collective human existential crisis, be it political, sociological, economic, or spiritual.
They range from blistering blasts of criticism for the powers that rule, to melancholy observations of how we've always had problems and always will, to even cheerful and upbeat songs that point out the optimistic view of society.

Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl" -
