Well, you greet the tokens and stamps
Beneath the fake oil burnin' lamps
In the city we forgot to name
The concourse is four-wheeled shame
And the courthouse's double-breast
I'd like to check out your public protests
Why you complaining? Ta!
Those who sleep with electric guitars
Range rovin' with the cinema stars
And I wouldn't want to shake their hands
'Cause they're in such a high protein land
Because there's forty different shades of black
So many fortresses and ways to attack
So why you complaining? Ta!
Beneath the fake oil burnin' lamps
In the city we forgot to name
The concourse is four-wheeled shame
And the courthouse's double-breast
I'd like to check out your public protests
Why you complaining? Ta!
Those who sleep with electric guitars
Range rovin' with the cinema stars
And I wouldn't want to shake their hands
'Cause they're in such a high protein land
Because there's forty different shades of black
So many fortresses and ways to attack
So why you complaining? Ta!

Yeh it's a great skewering of PC, saying how it basically wastes progressive energy on hairsplitting ("forty different shades of black/so many fortresses and ways to attack"). I gotta agree with him there. Also like how he mockingly refers to protests as "complaining".
