I have to laugh about people thinking this is satirical because it is a blatant attempt to impose their own political biases upon it. David Byrne grew up in suburban Maryland in which there are a lot of government workers, like his parents, and has these type of communities, like Columbia. Hardly a criticism, it is more a celebration of the unsung and unthanked people that make the country run.
You hit the nail right on the head with that. I mean seriously, why would David Byrne write a song that's some ironic delusion about the government? He's been connected to it personally most of his life, so why would he degrade it?
