Cover art for Drones lyrics by Rise Against

I personaly think that the song is about how today's society conforms. The more you conform the more likely you are to lose yourself.

"Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives, all will keep me coming back to you." This to me is saying that you can try to be different, but if you fail, you will come crawling back to what you know. Non-Conformity is the answer, at least in my world it is.

"The drones all slave away, their working over time, they serve a faceless queen they never question why, Diciples of a god that neither lives nor breaths but we have bills to pay, yeah we have mouths to feed" This is sorta like saying America is full of workaholics and yeah, they'll work the 9 to 5, but they are only doing it to get by. The goverment is the faceless queen and also the god that neither lives nor breaths. Society are the diciples that serve both. Society turns to the gov't for answers. DON'T CONFORM!!!
