lyrics

he's a scientist in the laboratory of masculine longing
an explorer in the undiscovered continent of love
he is out of place, an old man who is searching for belonging
wounded by zionist push and feminist shove

oh he reacts against a cocktail
of a thousand different fears
to terrified he puts his faith
in each conspiracy he hears

he hates the whole world but himself and feminine foreign wife
he's made that hatred his career and its become his life
he links communism to satanism to nuclear disasters
and ignores the obvious in search of still more secret masters

these are the words of a man
who as a child was told
that his beliefs were special
and that his words were gold

picture him giving the obituary
at the funeral for the old ways
tearful at the fall of the white men
and the rise of the women and gays
oh and every mourner their present
all decked out in luxurious black
is old and het and white and male
all filling the pews to the back
and the crowd they do not seem to notice
the fact that is clear as the day
that the being their meant to be mourning
is standing up there on the stage
and as his speech becomes more and more fevered
and he skips from malaise to malaise
the crowd becomes part of the deathtoll
in increasingly tenuous ways
and by the time his words reach fever pitch
the topic of speech has become
how every one of them's fuckin dead
and the whole outside world holds a warm smoking gun
