Did you really expect a song called "This Is Why We Fight" NOT to feature some kind of warlord, an army, a dude dressed like Adam Ant, or some shots of some kids who look worse for wear? The Decemberists' "This Why We Fight" delivers all those things, and more: This is one of the more narratively curious videos I've seen in some time, like it's the music video form of that Futurama episode with the crazy L.A. kids. And the fact that ends right as shit gets interesting? The tops.
Decemberists' The King is Dead is out now.
