Artist/Band: They Might Be Giants
Lyrics for Song: Certain People I Could Name
Lyrics for Album: Long Tall Weekend [1999]



The few surviving samurai survey the battlefield

Count the arms, the legs and heads, and then divide by five

Drenched in blood, they move across the screen

Do I need to point or do you see the one I mean?



The one in back

The way he acts

Is he reminding you

Of anyone we know?

Isn't he so

Like certain people I could name?



Halfway through the 30 minutes, halfway 'round the world

Here's the story on the genocidal overlord

In her palace with her epaulettes

Watch her little gestures as she lights her cigarette



Look at her, you

Must see it too

Is she reminding you

Of anyone we know?

Isn't she so

Like certain people I could name?



Disembodied and detached, a voice describes the scene

As a lizard stalks a helpless creature on TV

Music underscores the tragedy

Eyes with no expression watch the unsuspecting prey



Who is it like?

Doesn't it strike

You as the very image

Of someone we know?

Isn't it so

Like certain people,

How could anybody miss

The obvious

And the uncanny and

The clear resemblance?

Isn't it just

Like certain people I could name?
