The song is "We do what we're told (milgram's 37)". It is indeed on the
album "So". The lyrics basically involve repeating "We do what we're
told" over and over. Peter Gabriel played this song at concerts, and had
the audience (mindlessly? obediently?) chanting these lyrics.

There's an interesting discussion of the relevance to Milgram's study

Actually, there's a Peter Gabriel song about the Milgram obedience 
study. I think it is on the album "So".
