| The Psychedelic Furs – President Gas Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I don't think the song necessarily seeks to discredit any particular political philosophy so much as it communicates a certain disdain for elected officials in general. With regard to the left and right ends of the political spectrum, the lyrics, "He comes in from the left sometimes; he comes in from the right," suggest that a candidate's political party doesn't matter. He seems to be primarily focused on reelection and self-preservation regardless of his affiliations. As such, most candidates -- conservative, liberal, etc. -- are about the same once elected. (i.e. "President Gas is President Gas again.") | |
