“Please tell me it’ll be okay”
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go

- Pink Floyd, Time
The older I get the less I like that one
Ten million dollars in a losing campaign
Twenty million starving and writhing in pain
Big, strong people, unwilling to give
Small in vision and perspective
One in five kids below the poverty line
One population running out of time
Bad Religion, Punk Rock Song from the album The Gray Race.
Abracadabra boom-shacka-dae
I’m Violent J and I’m back like a vertebrae
And I come with a hat full of tricks
Trunk full of Faygo, car full of fat chicks.
ICP. Hocus Pocus
It’s when murder is justice that martyrs are made
A one gun salute for the new Independence Day
One Gun by Lamb of God

Du hast nie gelernt, dich zu artikulieren
Und deine Eltern hatten niemals für dich Zeit
Oh-ho-ho, Arschloch!
I only lived in Germany for a bit, but this one stuck in my head pretty hard. Schrei nach Liebe by Die Ärzte

And some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office.
From wikipedia:
Zack de la Rocha sometimes changed the lyrics in the second verse from “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses” to “Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office” when playing live.
And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun
-Pink Floyd
They do quiet, existential despair like no-one else.
It’s the English way
Wish you were here is next level on that front
You can check out, but you can never leave.

Di-de-de-di-de-de-de-do-do-day-bi-di-do.Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed, Everybody knows the war is over, Everybody knows the good guys lost, Everybody knows the fight was fixed, The poor stay poor, the rich get rich, That’s how it goes, Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking, Everybody knows the captain lied, Everybody got this broken feeling, Like their father or their dog just died, Everybody talking to their pockets, Everybody wants a box of chocolates, And a long-stem rose, Everybody knows…
