Posted: 11/1/07 at 5:10pmI need a song that describes the problems that we have in our world, songs like "Totally F*CKed" and "Ain't Got No" but more musically interesting. Any suggestion would help. Thanks

Posted: 11/1/07 at 5:23pmAre you wanting to stay in the Pop/Rock genre? If not, you should look at "Laughing Matters" from When Pigs Fly.

I don't think it's from anything, but it's by Sheldon Harnick. It might have been used in a revue at some point.
oh, yeah -- it's not what I would call pop/rock, unless you consider the Kingston Trio rock.

Posted: 11/1/07 at 5:32pmI Would like to find a song that is a little more of a pop/rock song. Lets say from the 70's to the present, uptempo. Thanks.
