What are some songs with powerful meanings?

For example, Sk8er boy has a powerful meaning of not to judge looks. (for homework)

What are some songs with powerful meanings?
"Abraham, Martin, and John" sung by Dion.





"Ebony and Ivory" sung by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney.





"Johnny, I Hardly Knew You" Old folk song with many versions about a maimed soldier returning from war.





"Johnny's Gone For a Soldier" Old folk song about a woman whose sweetheart has gone to war.





"Follow the Drinking Gourd" Old folk song supposed to be a 'map' song to guide escaping slaves north. My favorite version is sung by Odetta.





"Stupid Girls" sung by Pink


Already mentioned above, but worth repeating.





"A Swallow Song" sung by Richard %26amp; Mimi Farina and also by Kathy and Carol.





"House Un-American Activity Blues" and, frankly, just about anything else sung by Richard %26amp; Mimi Farina.
