Released in 1981 but still shockingly relevant today.
The song was written with the video in mind. “The video idea preceded the song,” Jerry Casale told Songfacts. “We start off with silly imagery taken from archival film libraries of just stupid stuff – Americana pop culture stuff from the past and silly imagery of silly people, then slowly start warping it over darker and darker things – Ku Klux Klan race riots, war, suffering, atomic bomb, starvation. It transforms from one thing to another.”
