I think Funeral Pyre by the Jam is prophetic:

Down in amongst the streets tonight

Books will burn, people laugh and cry in their turmoil

(Turmoil turns rejoiceful)

Shed your fears and lose your guilt

Tonight we burn responsibility in the fire

We'll watch the flames grow higher

But if you get too burnt, you can't come back home

And as I was standing by the edge

I could see the faces of those who led pissing themselves laughing

(And the flames grew)

Their mad eyes bulged, their flushed faces said

The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger

We feast on flesh and drink on blood

Live by fear and despise love in a crises

(What with today's high prices)

Bring some paper and bring some wood

Bring what's left of all your love for the fire

We'll watch the flames grow higher!

But if you get too burnt, you can't come back home

And as I was standing by the edge

I could see the faces of those who led pissing themselves laughing

(And the flames grew)

Their mad eyes bulged their flushed faces said

The weak get crushed as the strong get stronger
