Million Dead - Pornography for Cowards lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, please
Take your seats, put on your thinking caps
Now here's a poser for you: you know sexism
The social scourge of the sixties seen
As singularly responsible for a
Plethora of ills?
Well the reaction, after starting well
Has moved from the sublime to the ridiculous
Through self-defensive actions of
The string-vested interests so please
Let's dispense with tired fixations
With forms of address
And with constant vilification of
Legitimate sexual attraction
With weak accusations of
Inverted discrimination
Because it's getting old
Come on girls, this is weak
Come on boys, gird up your loins

And yes, I'm no qualified social theorist
But, I've got me a few ideas I picked up
While I was trying to be a human being

I'm amazed, no, seriously, folks
I'm really fucking awestruck
Leafing through so called lifestyle magazines
The beauty industry is just the
Tip of the goddamn iceberg
The prostitution of dignity for
A sense of humour?
The smallest blows against ignorance
Seen as too much?

I'm amazed and you're afraid
You're cowering behind a bravado built
On pornography for cowards
