Don Henly (cofounder of The Eagles) had many anti-Regan era songs.

This one section was are really future cast though from his 1989 End of Innocence Album"

Now it's take and take and takeover, takeover
It's all take and never give
All these trumped up towers
They're just golden showers
Where are people supposed to live?
