Lyric discussion by smarterthanyou_ergo 

This whole album, not just this paticular song, was heavily influenced by the book 1984 by George Orwell. But that's just what Parsons himself said. What the hell does he know? Don't post comments if you don't know what you're talking about.

He should know because HE WROTE THE SONG!!

Dude, the "what the hell does he know part" was obviously sarcastic.

@smarterthanyou_ergo EXACTLY! THANK YOUGOOD SIR... This song is about top down control of the population. Period. Open your damn ears, people!
