Did anyone ever figure out what this song was intended to mean? Or was it supposed to mean nothing?

it will never cease to amaze me just how deranged Fear of Music is. David Byrne is pretty weird but its a wonder if there's something else going on in there

it's like a psycho killer. a character piece, on the government man and his various thoughts about his position in life.

>>75201614
Who is the government man?

Is he the same guy as the character in "Don't Worry About The Government?"

>tfw your shoulders are this wide in a normal non-meme suit and you constantly bump into things like a retard

(first notes) AAHH!

>>75201452
My interpretation is it's about a poor guy who makes deals (hand passing in between us - like a handshake) with powerful people and secures a position in government

Get a shoulder reduction surgery, it's a real thing look it up. Chinese people do it a lot because it's so packed with people over there.

>>75201863
why would i want to be a skinny shouldered nu male

>>75201769
he is "the" government man

>>75201452
its "the hands of a government, man"

>>75201881
Get larger door frames installed then. I'm just trying to help you bro

>>75202008
it's okay i'm fine with walking sideways

>>75202036
clever

I always thought of the government man as a public servant (as in the song Don't Worry About The Government) who lives in public housing and is enthusiastic about his seemingly dull life.
