This section contains songs that may have a social/political message but the words and the poetry are the main point of the songs. Most of those songs are much more abstract than the other ones on this list and should be approached like you would approach a poem. Additionally, I do not recommend trying to work on any of those songs if you are not 100% confident in your abilities as they are much more complex than the songs from the two previous categories.
