EDIT: I know it's more of an American thing but it has stuff like "where at least I know I'm free"...that's pretty close to democracy
The American narrative cliche of freedom can better be described as liberal democracy, with the emphasis on liberal. There are lots of songs about the right to do whatever one wishes, but there aren't many about government by the will of the majority. This might qualify, although it's more of a polemic against a ruling minority.
