Beastie Boys – Sabotage Lyrics 6 years ago
This song is about the scheming, uncertainty, backstabbing, need to understand and need to control power that those in intelligence have. The people who can “shut me down with a push of your button” but also the people who should never be certain. They need those such as the protagonist of the song “‘Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear”. He’s “tellin' y'all, it's sabotage” but he’s not against you, “we can bet, so don't you get souped yet”.

Jack White – Freedom At 21 Lyrics 13 years ago
I think this is about a girl who can do whatever she wants and who doesn't care if it hurts the people around her. When he says "and she don't care what kind of things people used to do" I think this is him telling the girl the way people used to live and explaining that the way she is acting now is not something she would have been able to get away with in the past. That is also the same message from "she's got freedom in the 21st century." He is saying that she can do almost anything she wants that hurts him and get away with it because of the time we live in, but if he does anything back to her

she will cut off the bottoms of my feet
make me walk on salt
take me down to the police
charge me with assault
a smile on her face
she does what she wants to me
