Certain People I Could Name Lyrics - Idlewild: A Compilation - They Might Be Giants

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 

Photos 

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?
