I've been thinking that it could be interesting to have a thread about the socially-engaged "songs" included in the poll series "Thinking politically / socially-engaged songs", and I can tell now that my selections have mainly focused on major Prog. Also in this new thread, you can post some more of the same kind.

Fabrizio De Andre' - Verranno a Chiederti del Nostro Amore
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

The Mothers - "I'm the Slime", Over-nite Sensation (1973), about the brainwashing function or effect of many TV programmes,
and here's an excerpt of the lyrics:

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond
