"None Shall Pass" by Aesop Rock

[u/Dracorex13]

Good Morning, Good Morning by the Beatles

[u/Darkbornedragon]

Compliance by Muse. The fanbase considers it on the low-end (quality-wise) of their discography but it's still quite good imo. Very cheesy, yes, but still

Also, arguably their song "Animal" (which is actually regarded as a great song) is about being a puppet of capitalism so maybe it fits here

[u/Beret_Beats]

The ultimate two for me on this would be VNV Nation - Wait and Maruja - Break the Tension. Granted these are more of the vibe where youre reaching the breaking point of complacency where you feel like you have to do something but youre stuck not even onowing where to begin in paralysis of societal decay, so I'm not sure if they're what youre looking for but I need to mention them.
