Can you help me make a list of songs that are critical of the music industry?

Question

Like "Radio Radio" - Elvis Costello; "Sprit of the Radio" - Rush; "The Last DJ" - Tom Petty

They don't have to be about the radio...

Answer 1

John Cougar Mellencamp's "I Fight Authority"

Answer 2

Pink Floyd in "Have a Cigar" from WIsh You Were Here.

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far, fly high,
You're never gonna die,
You're gonna make it if you try;
They're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect,
And I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic,
that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell out.
You gotta get an album out.
You owe it to the people.
We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green,
Have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start,
It could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.
