This is indeed one of Jewel's best "lyrical" songs. Her social critique is precise and thoughtful, I particularly like the choice of words in the part:
"You see the lambs in the ghettos who worship their Gepettos
Believing in, never seeing, the strings they think bind them
So we write to our congressmen with bleeding pens of the sorrow within
And in return, they just send tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show "
