Cover art for Crowd Control lyrics by Phish

It's about Phish's view of the "fans" The band is on the stage (the hill) and the fans are on the lowlands. They broke up, because Phish started to become something they never wanted to be.
so, phish went on hiatus, to see if it could stop, but it all just became larger than life...which is exactly what they didn't want. If the fans could change, then the band would have continued to play...They felt like they were standing still, and the world wasnt waiting for them...so the fans either had to get rid of the devil, or the band was going to do it....the band did it.
