This song was recently resurrected in my memory. I feel it applies to current times.

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street

Now did you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away...
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burnin' into the night

There's too many men, too many people,
Makin' too many problems
And not much love to go 'round
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Oh Superman where are you now?
Well everything's gone wrong somehow...
The men of steel, men of power
Are losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go 'round
Tell me why this is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
Ooh, when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight...
So long ago...

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just makin' promises
That we know we'll never keep

Too many men, there's too many people
Makin' too many problems
And not much love to go 'round
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to...

And with that, I'd like to declare here and now that I won't be voting for anyone this time around. I can't stand either of the main candidates, and I haven't heard jack about any third party candidates (which scares me), so fuck 'em all. If the nation's going to go to hell, I'm not going to let my name go down as one of the many people that contributed to it.
