Pearl Jam: "Jeremy" - A song that questions not what was wrong with teenagers who would resort to school violence, but rather what is wrong with a society that will not accept people for who they are and drives them to these frustrated actions.
lyrics:
at home
drawing pictures
of mountain tops
with him on top
lemon yellow sun
arms raised in a V
dead lay in pools of maroon below
daddy didn't give attention
to the fact that mommy didn't care
king jeremy the wicked
ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
clearly I remember
pickin' on the boy
seemed a harmless little ****
but we unleashed a lion
gnashed his teeth
and bit the recessed lady's breast
how could I forget
he hit me with a surprise left
my jaw left hurtin
dropped wide open
just like the day
like the day I heard
daddy didn't give affection
and the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
king Jeremy the wicked
ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
try to forget this (try to forget this)
try to erase this (try to erase this)
from the blackboard.
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in class today
Protest songs of the 1990's concerned themselves more with social unrest and discontent, rather than war. Issues such as the L.A. race riots, police brutality, the recession, the AIDS epidemic, drug abuse, rejection of materialism of the 1980's, school violence, rising divorce rates, suicide became the protest songs of the 90's.

They remade "Give Peace a Chance" with all these celebrities during the 1990's for charity. They had a video and all.

"U.N.I.T.Y.," by Queen Latifa
A great song addressing domestic abuse and calling for respect for women.
Bette Midler recorded in the 90s too, "From a Distance."
Album: Pieces of You (Atlantic/WEA, 1995)
Sample Lyric: “Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower / Went up to where the homeless had their homes”
Jewel sweetly sums up society’s pitfalls and our role in shaping our troubles with this folk-pop ballad that became a huge it despite its subversive tendencies. She touches upon religion, health care costs, development, war and the environment with a poetic, angelic delivery, masking the

Hunger Strike....Temple of the Dog
I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled,
But it's on the table
The fire is cooking
And they're farming babies
While slaves are working
Blood is on the table
And the mouths are choking
But I'm growing hungry

Some would say "From a Distance" by Bette Midler is a protest song
