The one that came into my mind was similar in content and may also be
to old.
Graham Parker's "You Can't be to Strong". Reportedly an Anti-Abortion
song. If I'm wrong about this someone let me know.
More oldies..
Rolling Stones: Some Girls (steriotypes and misogony in one song)
Sex Pistols: really, take your pick.
Lou Reed: Walk on the Wild Side (just for getting on the radio)
Kinks: Lola (In it's day anyway)
Graham Parker: Mercury Poisoning: His kiss off to the label that done
him wrong.
Some that just sprang to mind..
Steve
