Land of Confusion" is a rock song written by the band Genesis for their 1986 album Invisible Touch. The song was the third track on the album and was Land of Confusion" is a rock song written by the band Genesis for their 1986 album Invisible Touch. The song was the third track on the album and was the fourth track from the album to become a single, which reached #4 in the US and #14 in the UK in 1987. The music was written by the band, while the lyrics were written by guitarist Mike Rutherford. The lyrics, further emphasized by the music video (see below), discuss the greed and uncertainty of the Cold War-era 1980s, but evoke a sense of hope for the future. The song is remembered by many Genesis fans because of its video, which featured puppets from the 1980s UK sketch show, Spitting Image. The song was played on their Invisible Touch, We Can`t Dance, and Turn It On Again: The Tour tours, though always transposed down a key to account for the deepening of Phil Collins`s voice over the years.The most recent cover version was released by the band Disturbed in July 2006, as the fourth single from their album Ten Thousand Fists. Except for a different style of singing and rock-styled driving pace, the only difference between the songs would be the bridge, replacing Genesis` synthesizer with a guitar solo.It was accompanied by a music video animated by Todd McFarlane, known for his work with the Spawn comic book series. McFarlane had previously animated the video for "Freak on a Leash" by KoRn, "Do the Evolution" by Pearl Jam, and the "Land of Confusion" video has a very similar style. The song became their first #1 single on the Mainstream Rock Charts on October 26, 2006.The video, credited to McFarlane and Terry Fitzgerald, is a spiritual sequel of sorts to the original Genesis video. However, where Genesis used the "Spitting Image" caricature puppets to parody the Cold War and its leaders, McFarlane uses dark imagery and much more direct attacks on the G8 leaders to get his point across.The video also portrays a world where a global military attacks free nations around the world, reflective of the fears of many in the post 9/11 world about the rising police state activity in nations such as the US and UK as well as fears of globalization for the purpose of satisfying business interests, such as banks, and the centralization of power, such as a world military. more >> <<less
