"Land of Confusion" is a song from Music/{{Genesis|Band}}' 1986 album ''Music/InvisibleTouch'', written by Mike Rutherford and dealing with the uncertainties of the UsefulNotes/ColdWar in TheEighties. The music video for this song is well remembered, because it was maybe the first major music video featuring puppets.
