I can't agree with "Won't Get Fooled Again" for my playlist, much as I like it and think it's the second-best song of 1971... partly because I know exactly where it fits in the intended storyline for Lifehouse (near the end when the Big Bad comes in, just at the start of the climactic final scene), but partly because for the last 49 years since it came out I have heard this song as a lament for the tattered remnants of the dreams of so many. ("The world looks just the same, and history ain't changed..." "Nothing in the street looks any different to me" and the rest of verse 3... and of course the quickly cut off verse 4).
My playlist includes "Save The People" from Godspell... I may be a little less optimistic than many here. Perhaps I'm overestimating the amount of work needing done, and/or the amount of resistance there will be, up to and including actual organized violence with the supprt of local governments.
Also, on a similar down-but-not-out note, "Praying" by Kesha. Because Kesha's producer/abuser/rapist is only the first and most obvious person this song can be aimed at.
