For me it’s:

Crossing that bridge, with lessons I’ve learned
Playing with fire and not getting burned.
I may not know what you’re going through.
But time is the space between me and you.

Prayer for the Dying, by Seal (1994).

    Not sure if they’re my favourite, but always liked this sequence in Bulls on Parade:

    Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes
    Not need, just feed the war, cannibal animal, I
    Walk the corner to the rubble
    That used to be a library, line up to the mind cemetery now
    What we don’t know keeps the contracts alive and movin’
    They don’t gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em
    While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
    Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells
