Break Free- I think its by Queen

At Seventeen- Janis Ian, is about self worth, and talks about stereotypes (but doesn't break them)
We Didn't Start the Fire- Billy Joel, media progression
The Times They are A-Changing- Bob Dylan (plus any other Bob Dylan)
Anything Bruce Springsteen.
I don't know what your projects about, but you could probably use some rap songs too, like 99 Problems by Jay Z, among tonnes of others.

Hrm. For some reason, the only song I can think of is "Civil War", Guns`n`Roses

try the alanis morressette song "all i really want" its really good and emotional and full of agnst. Heres the lyrics:
Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need know is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer
All I really want is some peace man
a place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...
you can look her songs from her Jagged little Pill cd up and all the songs talk alot about what you need! GOOOD LUCK!

I don't really know what kind of music you like (country, rock) or looking for. But I would suggest listing to, "You Do Your Thing" by Montgomery Gentry. Here are the lyrics:

Sure It might be a bit stupid but when you watch the video it will make more since!
