Pornography for Cowards

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, I'm amazed
The beauty industry is just the tip of the fucking iceberg, I'm amazed
The prostitution of dignity for a sense of humor, I'm amazed
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!
