xp Innocence by Kirsty MacColl maybe? possibly similar to This Year's Girl and Battery Brides in that the song's "narrator" has an insight denied to the subject, the latter being an oblivious dupe of society?

How about Marianne Faithfull - Why D'ya Do It? - it's an indictment of the cheating lovers though.

Love the Kirsty MacColl song. Never heard it before, or perhaps just never listened closely. Doesn't seem to be attempting any larger comment on the state of the world, but maybe I'm just not catching all the implications.
