Selected selections from poem (full version w/Paid subscription):

Still, the same battle-cry song
‘bout a generation gone wrong
with “not much love going round”
And still, that drowning feeling
while in sleep mode, unsound.

Still, after almost 40 years-
the same ol’ fears…
clear threat of nuclear,
“too many men, too many people
making too many problems”
that same damn refrain…

Still, the yearning for Superman
to come to our rescue
when it should be Everyman
and Everywoman giving due
to themselves for getting through

Still, we need to make this place right
using our hands- it’s worth the fight!
Fight- for our lives are at stake!
Stand up- for our own sake,
and sanity

Commentary:

Talk about a song that STILL haunts. “Land of Confusion” is somewhat
outdated music-wise and as a video, but the lyrics are timeless. Just a few of the
real-life famous folks portrayed as puppets are still with us today.
How many of the puppets do you recognize?
