The National Anthem Lyrics

Cover art for The National Anthem lyrics by Radiohead

The driving bass line in this song has so much violent energy, it gives me the impression of an angry crowd on the brink of rioting. The lyrics seem to support this to me, giving voice to the sort of 'mob mentality' that causes these things in the first place - group confusion and spreading fear reach the boiling point.
