reflective mood

Which songs do you think reflect Prince's best social commentary lyrics? For me, I really like 'Money Don't Matter Tonight','Sign O the Times', 'Uptown', 'Mr Man'. Wish he would do more of these type of songs.

Sign o the Times - It spoke of what was happening back in '87, but it is completely relevant to today's world too.

Totally, SOTT. It blew me away then and now! Shoot, I was blown away by "1999". Prince has the ability to tune into time and space. When I first heard the lyrics to SOTT, it was really before the heavy, heavy gang activity that we see today. I was totally amazed by his lyrical prophecy. nod
"A united state of mind will never be divided
The real definition of unity is 1
People can slam their door, disagree and fight it
But how U gonna love the Father but not love the Son?
United States of Division"

I'm partial to SOTT, Chaos And Disorder and Dance On.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
