Cover art for We Want A Rock lyrics by They Might Be Giants

interesting theory on the KKK, but...

I'm not sure this theory aligns with these lyrics

"they want to stop the ones who want a rock to wind a string around"...if the people who want the rock to wind the string around (OWWRTWSA) are the KKK, wouldn't it be the OWWRTWSA being the ones burning down the playhouses?

I do think there is something in the hiding in the churches though...I hadn't given it much thought before.
