Cover art for Perfect System lyrics by Oingo Boingo

It's about the costs of living under a totalitarian government (communism, fascism, capitalism, doesn't matter) and the sacrifice of self required of individuals in such a society. A common theme for Mr. Elfman who clearly read Orwell, Kafka, Huxley, and other dystopian visions of 'perfect systems'.
