Though the "modern" arrangement and production of the time gives this song a cheesy veneer, it's still pretty cool. The music alone gives me visuals of Jim and William Reed riding a convertible at night, looking like Miami Vice but still retaining their Psychocandy-era haircuts. I guess the lyrics are about fascism (or so i've read somewhere).
