What is this song about?
This song is about government control. The song keeps lyrically referencing a "clampdown." When he talks of rebelling against something, he says he's not working for the the clampdown. When he talks of his eventual submission, he is working for the clampdown. The clampdown, and whole song, is about government control.
What musical elements add to your interpretation?
At the beginning and end of the song, one can barely hear the lyrics, as they are almost completely drowned out by the music. His "voice" is easily overwhelmed and insignificant next to the power of the music/ government.
How does this relate to propaganda?
The clampdown is the government's propaganda, suppressing all negatives and promoting positives of the government.
