There's a few songs that have lyrically moved me. Admittedly I don't listen to music for lyrics that often so I'm not that well versed. But...
John Lennon's - God - "God is a concept, in which we measure our pain." paired with the music, it's really powerful.
Lennon's 'Working Class Hero' is great all around.
A Perfect Circle's 'Orestes', 'The Noose' and Tool's 'Gravity' are pretty dark but thought provoking.
Candy Says by the Velvet Underground is a song about a transvestite that had grown to hate herself.
Jeffrey Lewis is an indie singer songwriter that is hit or miss, but when he's on point - he's on point. Here's Everyone's Honest.
A couple of months ago
I was out drinking with an old friend of mine
What did he say to me
He said he’d like to curse his ex girlfriend just one time
And that everyone’s honest eventually
A bunch of years ago I got taken
By someone who said that shed get me stuff for free
Lots of talk, sweet molasses backstage passes
But everyone’s honest eventually
Summers gone again
Watch the leaves in tonkin square
Just cause nothing equals nothing
Doesn’t mean everything is fair
I knew a guy who was trying hard to never lie
He knew the bible a-to-z
He prayed before bed at night
And thought that he was living right
But everyone’s honest eventually
A friend of mine in Brooklyn was doing heroin
And then he told me that he’d gone clean
It’s all the same to me
What you do with your body
Everyone’s honest eventually
Fall is here again
Watch the leaves in tonkin square
Better put your mittens on
I hear its getting cold out there
I try to live my life just like I’d always pictured it
Become my own self-fulfilling prophecy
Set my sights low so I don’t feel like I have far to go
But everyone’s honest eventually
I had a girl who screwed around with someone else
She let me know almost immediately
And as soon as I found out
I treated her like a broken toy and threw her out
That’s what she got for being honest
Winters here again
No more leaves in tonkin square
Old men walk in circles
They cant find me anywhere
Sometimes when I meet new people
I try too hard to be friendly
Sometimes I try too hard to be cool
They say its horrible to be living a lie
But I’ve also heard it said that nothing is true
Winter never came
Ain’t no more old men in tonkin square
They say its horrible to live a lie
Then they say that nothing is true
What can you do if nothing is true?
Just between me and you
You’re better off not thinking it through
Not thinking it through

For me, I've always loved that part in the middle of Black by Pearl Jam;
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Can't it be mine

Most of Pearl Jam would be a good answer, imo.

My songs carry a big stick...
Who is your savior, who will save you now?
Your words been spoken, buried in the ground
Silent and still without a sound
A stranglehold has been placed on your wings
You would if you could, but you can�t reach down inside
Everything good systematically been denied
As the evil empire eats you alive, you say to yourself
God,
You picked one hell of a day
to die
Oh no not again, oh not again
Silent and still without a sound
Slowly demons unfold their wings
You would if you could but there�s a feeling inside
Everything good slowly has died
As the evil vampires, as they suck you dry
You say to yourself, you picked one hell of a day
You would if you could but your hands have been tied
What can not burn, slowly been fried
As the evil empire eats you alive,
You say to yourself, you picked one hell of a day
We are the legion
And we shall be forever and ever
Always forever
And we shall not surrender, never
We shall be the ones
Who look down on you N.W.O
bastards, and we�re gonna be the ones that say
Its one hell of a day
To be
Alive

I've got a bad disease
the kind that makes me sick
freedom hating sycophants
and ****ing spelling Nazi pricks
You got you tv, you Iphone and video games
you dial into the network
so they can take your names
and I think that you like it?
Come on
I used to think this the land of the free
but I can see that nobody cares
blinded by fear
you can't see the truth about money as debt
neck deep in sheep ****.
It slides, down the back of your head
you think your eating steak
but your just eating off the dead
You got no governments
you only got central banks
coughing up your slave wadges
so they can kill with their tank
and I think that you like it?
Come on
I used to think this the land of the free
but I can see that nobody cares
blinded by fear
you can't see the truth about money as debt
neck deep in sheep ****.
Yaaaaaaa!!!!!!come on!

drive, just a little be faster
when your talking to me
I said,life
burns a little bit faster
when your crawling down on your knees
I am a disaster
born of pain and misery
I hear the laughter
like all of hell is just talking to me
Driven to the edge,
the edge of life
don't look down or your gonna die
Driven to the edge
and your gonna die
don't look down
just put it in gear and
drive, just a little bit faster when your talking to me
I said
no slow reactions
gotta have a need, a need for speed
avert disaster
gotta cut the wheel
or your gonna bleed
like a slave to a master
your gonna have to learn
to break free

For far too long
we have been your slaves
paying off the debt
for the money you didn't have
but you just made
with all your dirty lies
and your filthy greed
silver bullet's gonna come around
and give you just what you need
Come on,hey man, I'm talking to you
just walk away
walk away
walk away
from what they have made
Your just victims of cult
tripping on a foundation
that you have laid
Silver bullet's gonna come around
and give you just what you need
I'm sorry Mr. Morgan
But we have to let you go
let you go
How do you like the morgue?
Just die.
