Song like Sail (Awolnation) - Safira - 10-07-2014

I need your help. I need to find a soundtrack with a fairly heavy bass line, rather electronic sounding, and with few words (no rapping, minimal lyrics, etc), for my GCSE drama coursework. Rather like Sail - Awolnation.




Stimulus:
"Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our people have guns, why let them have ideas?"


Plot:
>> First draft, But this is the rough idea<<
Physical Theatre, Man in power (suggested dictator) controls people from a big control panel. Other cast members are fully in sync, walking, doing various actions, etc. If the character has any single unique thought (Ideas), even accidentally sneezing, they get taken away and killed/tortured (not decided yet).


Why not just use Sail, you ask? 
Last year, a group used Sail for their piece, and it was F****g good. They had it all timed perfectly, and although the aim was 'to not have a story line', most people reckoned that this one girl was in control.  See the similarity?
It ISN'T the same plot, but we can't risk people pointing fingers. 

So my task for you:
If any of you know any song which has a heavy bass line (I believe that's what it is; Like the bass after the strings intro in Sail) which sounds a bit electronic/alternative, it would be AMAZING if you could show me!
Right now the current selection that we've come up with is:
-Radioactive (Imagine Dragons)
-Madness (Muse)
And both of them are a bit too much in the genre of Pop...

Here's my list:



Spoiler :

(Really bass heavy, least lyrics that i know of for type of thing that you're looking for.)



(Another song, but a little bit faster, less heavy on the bass.)

(Faster song, more lyrics, not all that much bass.)


(This one is was worth a try, quite fast, medium bass, but i'm not sure how you would feel with the swear words in this song.)



(This one has very little lyrics, and pretty bass heavy as well.)


(Bass heavy, not many lyrics pretty slow too.)


I hope this helps! Good luck with your GCSE!
