as for whether this song is mocking or serious, it comes across as both for me. Well, ok, that's not true, it's obviously a mockery, But self mockery is not an unknown thing, just to mock somebody doesn't mean you fully disagree and are totally different from them, I find it's rather the opposite. The ideas of good and bad/evil as well as the good being exalted and/or leading better, more heavenly lives, and of some sort of judgment of how good a person is, based on other peoples ideas of worth purveys at least my society. I'm talking subconscious and habitual thought patterns, not actually belief, but the beliefs of this song have everything to do with them. So at least for me this song is just a mockery of society, humanity, and myself. And the cruelty of it. And no, I'm not going to go out and eat babies because I don’t believe right and wrong should be my foremost concern, (though I do hear it makes one hell of a good essay/small book). I just think right and wrong are unhealthy abstract concepts, when there’s really so much more involved…
