    There are a few that come to mind, some are more serious than others and some that only touch on the topic. Of the ones on my list, I think Rich and Miserable most closely answers your question, followed by Shutting Detroit Down. 

    Rich and Miserable - Kenny Chesney https://youtu.be/zCdJyZUKJyMShutting Detroit Down - John Rich https://youtu.be/lMx__6Zc3S0Stick That In Your Country Song - Eric Church https://youtu.be/wAX5XvdKRFk Real - James Wesley https://youtu.be/3_Q75Qnrvzk  The Great Divide - Luke Combs https://youtu.be/2LFP2KLabp4 American Ride - Toby Keith https://youtu.be/zNDcAWNscg8

      If you listen closely you can hear the criticism in a number of older songs such as:

    Merle Haggard's song "Are the Good Times Really Over".Johnny Cash "The Man in Black"

    Songs like those are scattered through out the history of Country music, right through even today. Below is a link to some other songs with more recent critiques of the U.S.

    How about one critical of how the USA allows douche-bags to roam the streets, vandalizing,  looting, and, when there's nothing left to loot, burn down people's livelihoods?
