Certain People I Could Name Lyrics

The few surviving samurai survey the battle field

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 of the genocidal overlord

In her palace with her epaulettes

Watch her little gestures as she lights her cigarette

Look at her you They Might Be Giants - Certain People I Could Name - http://motolyrics.com/they-might-be-giants/certain-people-i-could-name-lyrics.html

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?
