Question: I am interested in songs by the same composer/ song writer that talk about political ideals affecting the country's masses. May I know some?

Answer: 
The song is about the effects of drugs. According to the website [Story of Song](https://storyofsong.com/story/master-of-puppets/),

> 
> “Master of Puppets” was written by all members of Metallica and is a song about the eventual side effects drugs will have on an individual’s life. In an 198[6] interview with Thrasher magazine, lead singer James Hetfield explained the meaning behind the track: ““Master of Puppets” deals pretty much with drugs. How things get switched around, instead of you controlling what you’re taking and doing its drugs controlling you. Like, I went to a party here in S.F., there were all these freaks shooting up and geezin’ and this other girl was real sick.” It is Metallica’s most played song of all time.

While one could certainly argue that all music (like other forms of art) is subject to interpretation, even in spite of the artists' original intent, there are lines in "Master of Puppets" that are hard to interpret as being about anything other than drugs:

*Taste me you will see
More is all you need* (i.e., addiction)

*Needlework the way, never you betray* (i.e., injecting drugs intravenously)

*Chop your breakfast on a mirror* (i.e., chopping lines of cocaine)

*Fix me!* (i.e., getting one's "fix" of a drug they're addicted to)
