Does anyone know songs that have the theme of Control, and why people want to control others. Some help would be good. Thanks

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.

Also:



"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."

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 :)
