What is a good song dealing with the following theme?

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.
