As to songwriting , lyrically, it's the Beatles and it really is not close. Lennon and McCartney were just ridiculous in that sphere......particularly McCartney in the later years.
Street Fighting Man
Paint it Black
Gimme Shelter
Shine a light,, about Brian Jones is an amazing tribute
Sympathy
Angie
a better political commentator overall than Lennon IMO

He's not given the credit he deserves in that respect and he's always been deceptively political since the beginning.
Mother's Little Helper
19th Nervous Breakdown
Pain it Black
All very much social commentary
Gimme Shelter is possibly one of the most haunting and apocalyptic songs ever written, lots of war imagery provoked.
McCartney and Lennon were no slouches in the social commentary arena either but you're right on Jagger....his lyrics are much more raw and direct.
In that arena, though, I think Ray Davies beats them all.
