Cover art for All Is Vanity lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

For me, this one's is somewhat an observation of a modern industrial society gone corrupt and morally bankrupt, and how it corrupts individuals by designing them to think in certain ways and live a life in which the ideas of having a choice and clinging to what society feeds you as valid truths are made out of pure vanity. You usually ask "what's wrong?" in a utopian world in which some elements need to be and can easily be fixed... but the grim reality is that you really need to ask "what's right?" instead.
