    Who is in control of BS anyway? Is it some lonely fan or some company?

    It's a big mystery. No one knows for sure, but some people have suggested it's the Stonecutters. If you pay attention to the lyrics, you might catch a reference to BigSoccer.

    Who controls the British crown?
    Who keeps the metric system down?
    We do! We do!
    Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
    Who keeps the martians under wraps?
    We do! We do!
    Who holds back the electric car?
    Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
    We do! We do!
    Who robs the cave fish of their sight?
    Who operates BigSoccer.com?
    We do! We do!
