Songs related to books?

What are some relatively indie songs that I could relate to the American Dream (The Jungle by Upton Sinclair) and someone trying to be accepted by society (The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald)? It's for English and I have no idea where to start.

    "2+2=5" by Radiohead is also about 1984.

    "20 000 ljööd vee all" by Vennaskond about Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
