"Culture of Fear" is the title track of Thievery Corporation's 2011 album, featuring and written by rapper Mr. Lif. According to the band's Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, it is about a decade of living on edge waiting for the next bad event, such as terrorism or financial collapse, and their belief that people are kept anxious so they can be controlled.
