Land of confusion - Genesis

'Land of confusion' was composed by Genesis, while the lyric was written by band member Mike Rutherford. It discusses the greed and uncertainty of the Cold War-era Eighties, but also evoke a sense of hope for the future. The song is remembered by most people for its music video, in which puppets from the Eighties show Spitting Image were used to portray the band and several contemporary politicians.

The single reached number 4 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, number 14 in the UK singles chart and number 8 in the Dutch Top 40.
