Story behind the song
Coming to terms with manhood is hard enough, without all the media propaganda trying to tell us what a man is, what he wants, wears, and eats for breakfast. I wrote this about the "ideal" image created by magazines and movies that drowns out instincts in favour of fashion. Fuck fashion - fuck the wankers who devote their lives to creating "markets" of pliable consumers to lap up every accessory they peddle.. they pander to an imagined need, a need they created through the media they utilise to their own filthy ends. Consumerism is a means, not an ends. People who behave as if it's otherwise make me sick. Rant over.
Lyrics
Been looking for a plain girl with a pretty girl’s features Holding back from love just to keep these fucked ideals Some craziness I learned on TV - that beauty is the shape of the body And the soul is just a good actor’s hobby If I ever go insane and get chained to hell’s wicker basket Then by some miracle an overworked demonic cleric Should let me off on a technicality Shuffling over blistered souls on my way back to the light I’ll remember all the girls I ignored because they didn’t look like The ones I saw on the television my whole fuckin’ life up to this point I believed that it wasn’t love unless they held me tight There’s some truth in the danger Of being too headstrong The heart doesn’t have a chance Unless the head goes to hell
