Songs From The Age Of Human Error by Kerry JK<\/a>
\nWritten at a time I was trying to avoid getting\u00a0caught up\u00a0in t-shirt politics, this was\u00a0my catch-all anti-bigotry song.\u00a0 It originally had a more profane title, but now I prefer the simple bluntness of\u00a0“Idiot”.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A man on an island, but with ancestors from foreign lands
\nDespairs of the fate of his people
\nInvaded by faces and colours and words he can’t understand
\nHe spits out testosterone
\nHe has warrior blood in his genes
\nToo bad it never made it to his brain
\n‘Cause there ain’t no courage to be seen
\nCould it be he’s a racist?
\nCould it be he’s just frightened?
\nWhat he is is an idiot
\nEverything else is just a symptom.<\/p>\n

And all he sees around is Queer Folk
\nHe wonders what’s the world coming to
\nBy force of personality he’s decided more lesbians
\nThan any other agent could do
\nHe knows all he needs to know
\nThe papers spell it all out so clear
\nPerverts and homos and lifters and freaks
\nHad better never show their faces round here
\nCould it be he’s a homophobe?
\nCould it be he’s just frightened?
\nWhat he is is an idiot
\nEverything else is just a symptom.<\/p>\n

Standing in the safety of his self-importance
\nDividing the world into Them And Me
\nGod forbid things might be more complicated
\nHis Dad always taught him
\nHe knows what’s right and what’s wrong
\nThe right’s in the mirror, the wrong’s over there
\nAnd bullying makes a man strong
\nCould it be he’s a bigot?
\nCould it be he’s just frightened?
\nWhat he is is an idiot
\nEverything else is just a symptom.<\/p>\n

Could it be he’s frustrated?
\nCould it be he’s just frightened?
\nWhat he is is an idiot
\nEverything else is just a symptom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
