I believe Jackson Browne's version of "cocaine" is better than Clapton's...that would be BOTH the old and new versions.
COCAINE (by Rev. Gary Davis, additional lyrics by Jackson Browne & Glenn Frey)
You take Sally and I'll take Sue
Their ain't no difference between the two
Cocaine, running all 'round my brain
Headin' down Scott, turnin' up Main
Looking for that girl that sells cocaine
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain
Late last night about a quarter past four
Ladanyi come knockin' down my hotel room door
Where's the cocaine--
It's runnin' all 'round my brain
I was talking to my doctor down at the hospital
He said, "Son, it says here you're twenty-seven,
But that's impossible
Cocaine-- you look like you could be forty-five"
Now I'm losing touch with reality and I'm almost out of blow
It's such a fine line-- I hate to see it go
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain

Just wanted to add some of my favorite songs from the last decade:
Good Charlotte - Waldorf Worldwide
The Ataris - SanDimas High School Football Rules
Garth Brooks - Standing Outside the Fire
KRS One - Rappers Delight
Nas - One Mic
Lonestar - Front Porch Looking In
Just a few to add some diversity to the thread.

"I, don't want to be myself
well baby I just want to run
you got to breathe faster breathe
straight into the sun
55,000 flowers for the hero
scattered at his feet to satisfy his ego
I shot the sun ya ya ya ya
this tear I've got
I shot the sun baby
A fact of life for all that's here
And every hearts' a part of me
The Cult "Breathe"
"Check this one,
Down to the bedroom because she was there
Scarlet women she got me a beer
she said do all those things you do to me
don't you know what I mean boy
do all those things that you do to me
Talkin about love removal
Talkin about love removal machine
Get it out salt shaker
Baby Baby Baby I fell from the sky
Yesterday you blew my mind
having trouble with my direction
upside down a bloody reaction
talkin about love removal
talkin about love removal machine
get it out soul stealer
Boogie, look out here she comes
The Cult "Love removal Machine"

There's too many to just name one, but I'm going to submit my favorite song by one of the best heavy metal bands of all time, Tool; Eulogy. I think it's about the crucification of Jesus, or something, hahah, I just like it cuz it rawks, dude.
Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.
Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you ****in lie.
Don't you step out of line.
Don't you ****in lie.
