Haha, I have to agree. My favorite lines are these:
I see the states, across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C.
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me

I think of the people that are working for me
Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong

I just think of how hilarious and ironic those statements are, at least coming out of David Byrne's mouth. For example, I think that there are a lot of people in this country that are happy go lucky, and simultaneously get their panties up in a bunch if people dare question whether or not the U.S. is the greatest country in the world, yet are content with everything that's going on. I also think in this whole thing he's kind of sending up how "great" we think industrialization and urbanization are, we ignore how mundane and separated from nature we are...but hey, at least we can see it from the highway so we know it's out there, even if we never bother to visit because after all, we have all these great buildings!
So satirical. Pure genius.
