lyrics

Irrelevancy’s getting me down,
Feel like I should be throwing my weight around,
Don’t have much to say but I can be loud
And I’m damned well gonna be heard.
I’m hanging ten on the second wave,
Cursing the arrival of a better age,
Wishing I was relevant like back in the day
When the girls hung on my every word.

What is a leader to do when they’ve lost track of where they’re going?
Do I just plough on through like I had no way of knowing?

I’m pulling hard on the teat of a book,
That feeds my legend while you all overlook
The way I grew into a bigoted fool
Of the garden variety.
So now they call me Agent Provocateur,
That’s French for pseudo-intellectual jerk,
I don’t have time to do the proper research
But I speak with authority.

It’s hard to be an anarchist when the establishment loves you.
The revolution is a very difficult thing catch up to

(Germaine!)
My name is like a stain on the cover
Of a book you would expect to be at least slightly clever,
(Greer!)
With a sneer I am here to deliver
Some down home kook with a divisive agenda.
Female eunuchs are ok if it’s a part of the culture but
I don’t think that phenotypes can ever be altered

I’m smelling your vagina for authenticity,
Wonder why the queers all like to throw shit at me?
Why can’t they just let an old woman be?
I’m not inciting anything.
Don’t ever count on me making the change
To be consistent in what I do and say
With what I wrote on a fabled page
Where sex wasn’t destiny

Why walk on eggshells when you can trample minorities?
I’ve misplaced my glasses I can’t see the hypocrisy

(Germaine!)
Did you call for an upper middle class white
Relic fixated on the Prime Ministers arse?
(Greer!)
Have no fear, the sound bite’s here to pass judgement
On anything from sport to Dancing With The Stars.
You need controversy? All you do is give me a call -
I’m a whiz at debates except the logical part.

It's my privilege to be here on your panel today
What was the topic again? 

(Germaine!)
My name is like a stain on the cover
Of a book you would expect to be at least slightly clever,
(Greer!)
With a sneer I am here to deliver
Some down home kook with a divisive agenda.
I'm a whole woman but a few planks short a verandah 
When was I a leader of thought? Can anybody remember?
