$20 per song is a lot of money if you write a lot of songs and most decent
songwriters do. One option is to jumble a bunch of tunes together, give it
a name, and copyright the whole lot as a single work. It's still just $20.

Another option is don't worry about it too much. If you're that good, it's
far more likely you'll get screwed in perfectly legal ways.

Actually, the filing fee for a copyright application has been increased
to $30.

I agree.

I had written some poems and then decided to add music to them and
instead of copyrighting each poem/song I made them one piece and
copyrighted the whole thing as one.
