Send "Mr. Moustache" Ringtone to Cell

Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mind and wisdom
Yes I eat cow I am not proud.

Show me how you question, question
Lead the way to my temptations
Take my hand and keep it clean
As I eat cow I am not proud.

Is it an easychair?
Oversized rock
I don't like you anyway
Silver metal box

I'm new
I'm new
(all again, then:)

I'm who?
I'm you--aaaahh! Aaaah!

    General Comment:I think that this song is a reference to Kurt's buddhist beliefs. However, I am not sure what religion he was at the time.

    General Comment:Maybe I can shed some light on this.
    In his journals he made a comic called "Mr Mustache" about an arrogant redneck dad who went to his pregnant wifes belly and described how he wanted "him" to turn out. A fag hating, red meat eating, militaristic, red blooded american. Then the baby kicks through the womb and kills him.

    Kurt wanted to be a vegatarian but lacked the willpower to do so, he wasn't proud that he ate meat expecially because that's what "Mr mustache" wanted.

    I think it's more about the mentality of racist, hateful descriminate bastards out there.

    General Comment:I think its about his dad.... everything hes saying is about macho males, but i think one particular one his father, only cuz it sounds like he has no control over what he does like someone(his father) is making him do it.

    General Comment:This song definitely has a meaning.
    It's Kurt's perspective of him like..talking to one of those stereotypical
    macho males and saying why they're stupid and how he's not like that. And
    how he doesn't think they should take pride in being douchebags.

    General Comment:I don't think its really about anything in fact. Kurt said himself that he wrote just random pieces of poetry all the lines had a meaning but the song has really no meaning in its self. Like one line would be about one thing the next something completely different.

    General Comment:It seems like it's attacking both typical macho men and those really annoying self-righteous people.

    General Comment:its not about macho males (only the title is)
    its about the opposite.
    its about those who are (to) political correct with their veganisme, anti-sexism etc.
    (its explained in the come as you are - book, but i'm to lazy to get it and copy it here)
