They Might Be Giants - The Communists Have the Music (Official Video)

From They Might Be Giants’ album My Murdered Remains. Get it direct from the band I got handed an Ayn Rand sandwich straight from a can it tasted so bland I asked a lass to pass me a glass of Engel’s Conditions of the Working Class right away they dragged me to the committee to explain my un-American activity they’re gonna see they made a mistake if they’d only let me play my mixtape I’m not partial to the martial or the plutocrats in their beaver hats and the fascists have the outfits but I don’t care for the outfits what I care about is music and the communists have the music I hear a melody and just as suddenly I know who I’m supposed to be I don’t need a rationale to sing the Internationale I only need to plug in the headphone jack so I can listen to my backing track I’m not jealous of the zealous or anarchics with guitar picks and the fascists have their outfits but I don’t care for the outfits what I care about is music and the communists have the music yes the communists have the music oh the communists have the music I hear a melody and just as suddenly I know who I’m supposed to be I’m not partial to the martial or the plutocrats in their beaver hats and the fascists have the outfits but I don’t care for the outfits what I care about is music and the communists have the music Dial-A-Song Video Week 36.
