Who's In Control? Lyrics

Is it straight-ahead? It always sounded a little facetious to me.

"Sometimes I wish protesting was sexy on a Saturday night" and the "I just read a book" bit made it sound to me like we are talking about people who protest because they are caught up in a wave of protest, not because they understand the issue.

Maybe I'm just too cynical ;)

@facelessgremlin Have you seen the video? It definitely bears out what you said. A bunch of hipsters protesting and then going to a party afterwards.
