about

I've always felt incredibly weird about writing songs about other people's struggles, so this is really all about my resentment of morons who think "feminazis" are worse than rapists. Stop being a dickhead on the internet. This is also about the nerd who wrote an e-book about assaulting women and saw nothing wrong with it.

lyrics

Today is the day I realized I'm disgusted with most things. Most of all the way you hide behind free speech. I don't believe in your sincerity, and I don't believe a "victory" exists.

Is there such a thing as a dangerous idea, and will I ever know how to deal with someone who looks like me?

While you were writing novels about primal instincts, there's a girl crying somewhere on a bathroom floor. Afraid of everything, afraid of everyone she meets.

You don't feel like me, you don't love like me, you just look like me. I'm sick of the taste; I'm sick of everything.

If this is what it takes to be a man, then I guess I never was one and that's okay with me.
