This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

OH OHHH OH

the puppets in that video were weird

My favorite trivia from that is that the Phil Collins deformed puppet was from a British show mocking Phil Collins. He loved it so much he hired the puppet makers to create puppets for the entire band and used them for this music video.

They were from a ‘80’s British comedy tv puppet show called Spitting Image.

The Phil Collins puppet bears a strange resemblance to Liz Truss.

"Buckaroo! The President wants to know if everything's OK with the alien spacecraft from planet 10 or should he just go ahead and destroy Russia?"

"Tell him yes on 1 and no on 2."

"Wait, which was 'yes'? To destroy Russia or number 2?"

Fuck. It’s so much worse now than it was in the 80s.
