#3 Trick and the Who-absolutely. If rock-pop songs would qualify, I'd add Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire".

Tammy Wynette? Uh, no, unless victimhood makes you a conservative.

I don't care about the lyrics, the chorus says it all.

#14 "Forty Years," by Joe Jackson:

Here in D.C. - they talk about 'Euro-disease'
And how the French are always so damn hard to please
Motions are passed in Brussels but no one agrees
And no one walks tall - but no-one gets down on their knees

Once allies laughed and drank
But it was forty years ago

Where I come from
They don't like Americans much
They think they're so loud, so tasteless, and so out of touch
Stiff upper lips are curled into permanent sneers
self-satisfied
Awaiting the next forty years

Also, "Man on the Street" from the same album.

"Highwire", by the Rolling Stones:

Another Munich we just can't afford.
We're gonna send in the Eighty-second Airborne!
