For everyone who's gonna ask, no, this does not mean I'm taking requests again, just wanted to make this.
Anyways, welcome to this big fat analysis that I had to make or else I would combust and die. Here's why the song "Collective Consciousness" from MGRR fits so well with the AAHW (and the Nexus Core, too)
The unenlightened masses, they cannot make the judgment call
The AAHW agents and Nexus Core agents are mass-produced. "Unenlightened" basically means you don't think rationally, the AAHW has been canonically confirmed to have no survival instinct, just a goal, kill Hank. The Nexus Core also operate under orders without thinking and questioning. They will always be pawns to their higher-ups, will never make a judgement call.
Give up free will forever, their voices won't be heard at all
The AAHW have very limited free will, the entirety of Nexus City was forced to worship Phobos. Neither organisation has the free will to speak against their superiors. And their superiors will never listen to them, either.
Display obedience, while never stepping out of line
We've seen the consequences of dissenting, and they're horrifying, self-explanatory line.
And blindly swear allegiance, let your country control your mind! (Let your country control your soul)
The AAHW and Nexus Core agents do what they're told. Period. They blindly follow orders and are stupidly loyal. "Let you country control your mind" could be figurative, or it could be literal, since the Auditor enhances agents and basically puts them completely under control.
Live in ignorance and purchase your happiness
Could potentially be propaganda, telling people that if they want to achieve something, or "be happy", they need to join the AAHW/Nexus Core. They live in ignorance of the horrors their leaders commit.
When blood and sweat is the real cost, thinking ceases, the truth is lost
As mentioned earlier, the AAHW and Nexus Core go through a lot of hardships, and loose a lot of members and things. They can't think for themselves, only for their purpose. "The truth is lost" could be Sheriff lying to everyone about Hank distorting reality when he was the one who activated the drive.
Don't you worry, you'll be told exactly what to do
I sound like a broken record, but agents follow their orders without question. They're told what to do and they do it, end of sentence.
I give my people the lives they need, the righteous will succeed!
Some AAHW propaganda says something about a "common purpose" and "unity". Auditor is "giving people they lives they need" by giving them a common purpose. He believes they are righteous and will succeed. Phobos also saw no problem with how the Nexus Core was treated.
The fires of greed will burn the weak, so we'll make freedom obsolete
"fires of greed" could literally refer to how the Auditor is a fire person, he purges the weak, simply out of anger. "Obsolete" means "no longer produced". Again, the agents have very little free will. Both AAHW and Nexus Core.
Making whole the fabric of society
Auditor sees Hank and co as nuisances that should be destroyed, and once they are gone, everything will go back to "being whole". Nexus Core sold off their efforts as ways for civilians to have an advanced and luxurious lives.
Collective Consciousness controlled as you will see!
Auditor controls the AAHW and Phobos controls the Nexus Core.Thanks for coming to my TED Talk, clap please this took 20 minutes to write.
