I am doing a school project, where I'm supposed to find three songs that relate to the theme of the novel Lord Of The Flies. Then I have to translate the important quotes that relates to a quote in the book, connecting to the main theme of the story. The theme is that evil is naturally inside of us, or without order/civilization, there will be chaos/destruction/savagery, something along those lines. So far, I have Sympathy for the Devil by Rolling Stones, Night Prowler by ACDC, and Lord of the Flies by Iron Maiden and I don't know what to write about them, so I'm unsure about my song choices. I need help finding at least three songs that talk about the evil inside of man. I would appreciate it!

(This may be no use as you say you require "metaphor".)

@joy park12,
Check out the Doors, "The End"

One thing about the concept that human beings are naturally evil is that it raises the question as to how such evil created human civilization and culture. You could conclude that good and evil are invisible in the human psyche.

Devil Inside
by INXS


Here come the woman
With the look in her eye
Raised on leather
With flesh on her mind
Words as weapons
Sharper than knives
Makes you wonder
How the other half die
Other half die

Makes you wonder
Oh-oh-wonder

Here come the man
With the look in his eye
Fed on nothing
But full of pride

Look at them go
Look at them kick
Makes you wonder
How the other half live

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside

Here come the world
With the look in its eye
Future uncertain
But certainly slight

Look at the faces
Listen to the bells
It's hard to believe
We need a place called hell
A place called hell

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside

Here comes the woman
With the look in her eye
She's raised on leather
With flesh on her mind

Words are weapons
Sharper than knives
Makes you wonder
How the other half die

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside
