Its got to be Rage against the Machine, "Killing in the name of"
Just had the bassline to this song rumbling through my head, havent heard it for ages though
You need to know the chorus.
Hows it go,"&*^K You, I wont do what you told me" , or something like that.

"Forgiven" by Alanis Morrisette. The line that really makes me think of the JW's is . . .
"I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man."
Losing My Religion by R.E.M. because this was a popular song that played during the time I was having very serious doubts.
Losing My Religion R.E.M
O h life is bigger,
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in you eyes
Oh No, I've said too much
I set it up
T hat's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh No, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
E very whisper
Of every walking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost blinded fool -fool
Oh No, I've said too much
I set it up
C onsider this, Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me to my knees failed
What if all these fantasies come failing around?
And I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
B ut that was just a dream
That was just a dream
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why? Try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream

Well, when I'm feeling rebellious, I crank up, "If It Feels Good, Do It" by Sloan. I know how much my father would hate it just for the name of it; so when I hear it, I crank it up and sing it at him, even though he's nowhere near me. :D
I don't know if I've ever come across a song that sums up my experience within the Borg, though. I'll have to give that some thought. :)
**edited to add: there is a song out right now called "Bother", I can't remember who sings it but it has a line in it that says "Stones to throw at my creator, the masochist to whom I cater", and that line resonates with me for some reason.

Blinded by the light anyone?
Abaddon wrote a version of All Along the Watchtower a few years back. It starts out kinda sorta like this:
All along, the Watchtower
Told a pack of lies
Broken hearts and promises
So much wasted time
Glen
Send In The Clowns
Gloomy Sunday
I Should Have Known Better
I can't think of one for myself, but I'll bet J. R. Brown's song is "Lawyers, Guns and Money."
PIECES OF DREAMS
Little boy lost
In search
Of little boy found
You go on wondering, wandering
Stumbling, tumbling
'Round. . . 'round. . .
When will you find
Whats on the tip of your mind
Mmm...Why are you blind
To all you ever were
Never were
Really are
Nearly are
Little boy false
In search
Of little boy true
Will you be ever done
Traveling
Always unraveling
You, . . you. . .
Running away
Could leave you farther astray
And as for fishing in streams
For pieces of dreams
Those pieces will never fit
What is the sense of it
Little boy blue
Don't let your little sheep roam
It's time come blow your horn
Meet them on
Look and see
Can you be far from home...
