A song about how the general public feels pleasure from viewing other people suffer. How people feel good about themselves from watching other people struggle. If you know any songs dealing with these meanings, please let me know.
What is a good song dealing with the following theme?
Positively 4th Street by Bob Dylan. Some lyrics: You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend. When I was down you just stood there grinning. You got a lot of nerve to say you've got a helping hand to lend. You just want to be on the side that's winning. When you know as well as I you'd rather see me paralyzed.Why don't you just come out once and scream it? I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes. You'd know what a drag it is to see you.

Lyrics example:
Eye on the TV
Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be
Like:
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used a poison in his tea
and kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story.
It's no fun 'til someone dies
Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child,
Watches him die
Pleas to the sky crying,
"Why, oh why?!"
Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.
