Standing in the Way of Control (3:25)
934,924 plays (165,463 listeners)
According to the Standing in the Way of Control Songfacts, this song was written by frontwoman Beth Ditto as a response to the US government’s stance on same sex marriage during George W Bush’s presidency. She said : “Nobody in the States was that surprised or shocked by what Bush did, but it made everyone I know feel helpless and cheated. I wrote the chorus to try and encourage people not to give up. It’s a scary time for civil rights, but I really believe the only way to survive is to stick together and keep fighting.”

Nice track, but chorus is too short and it loses a lot of energy in the second half.
