Call That A Master Race​?​!

from 9​/​40: Radical You! (vol​.​1) by Grant Sharkey

lyrics

I guess you’ve prob’bly heard of the Alternative Right:
Men who are definted by all the things they don’t like,
Women, gays and muslims seem to give them a fright,
Make them shiver at night (even if they are white)

They love to talk all day about the things that they hate,
Maybe that’s the reason why they can’t get a date,
Caught up in a spiral of perpetual rage,
They’re not getting laid (unless the victim is paid)

Ugly, ugly, ugly fellas inside and out,
I’m gonna take some time right now to help these guys out,
Now, I’m no Cassanova but I’ve been about,
There’s no need to pout or grizzle or shout

You need sex and women with taste
If you’re gonna make babies to build a master race,
I find people wanna kiss my balls and face
When I’m compassionate and funny and playing a bass!

I didn’t go to college – haven’t got a degree
The letters after my name are E, A, D and G,
I suggest you try and be a little like me,
Bootsy and Lemmy – then you will see.

Something happens to the world when a bass is played,
Magic travels through the air and into our brains,
Before you even know it your hips start to sway,
And then you’re enslaved to the bassline you crave

Bow down to your superiors,
We rule with funk – not fear and mayhem,
You want peeps to know you’re serious?
I suggest you go home and study Larry Graham

I’m not bragging that we’re better than you
(although deep down inside, you know that it’s true
and the thought it probably making you blue,
well ‘boo-hoo-hoo-hoo’ – we’re still better than you!)

Maybe there’s no hope for you (you weird little psychotic!s)
But here’s a list of shitf you can do...to get a clue
Don’t mess with Wooten and Watt
If you cross Carol Kaye she’s gonna kick your arse
Don’t even speak to Gail Ann Dorsey
Kim Deal, John Paul Jones and...introducing Joe Dart!

Get some blisters on your fingers, one on your thumb
Enjoy the endless power of low frequency fun
Music is the force that shows us we are all one
(even if you are dumb...’cause there’s always the drums!)

Angry little men are not born to be great,
They’re pent up little weasels - twisted with hate,
They certainly don’t like it when you laugh in the face
Of a ‘master race’ that can’t even play bass (HA HA HA!)
