Does anyone know songs that have the theme of Control, and why people want to control others. Some help would be good. Thanks
 
This song is perfect! Its all about how the government brainwash and control us through TV and it's an AMAZING SONG!!

Honestly that kind of creeped me out and now my heart hurts. Thanks for it though, you are right about what it means.
 


Not only is this song awesome but it fits the bill perfectly. Especially Brother Ali's verse.
 
Most punk music will have themes of government control in their songwriting.

Bad Religion could be a good place to start.

"On soft gray mornings widows cry

The wise men share a joke;

I run to grasp divining signs

To satisfy the hoax.

The yellow jester does not play

But gently pulls the strings

And smiles as the puppets dance

In the court of the crimson king."

 
since trent reznor wants to fuck you like an animal, and he clearly isn't feeling you from the inside. he is practicing control.....

 
I you want something that's wicked out of the box, check out "Master and Slave" by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. It's a kinda old swing song, cool to analyze too :)

Not really about others controlling, but self control, and hardly school appropriate, but I'm gunna go ahead and post this anyways.
