Electric guitar de Talking Heads

Electric guitar gets run over by a car on the highway
this is a crime against the state
this is the meaning of life.
To tune this electric guitar
An electric guitar is brought in to a court of law
the judge and the jury (twelve members of the jury)
all listening to records
this is a crime against the state
this is the verdict they reach:
Never listen to electric guitar
Electric guitar is copies, the copy sounds better
call this the law of justice, call this freedom and liberty
i thought i perjure myself, right infront of the jury
is this a crime against the state? no
this is the verdict they reach:
Someone controls electric guitar.
