Pornography for Cowards - Million Dead

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?
