A tedious British TERF named Pinky Perky or something like that was in the news for the poor company she was keeping. I wrote a song about that, but it didn’t have a tune. Thankfully, my friend and occasional enabler Robbie Matthews came up with the goods.

The villain is the hero of their own peculiar story
But there’s got to be some zero, just a tiny step too far
Like when the Nazis are saluting at the rightness of your glory
You should wonder is it time to take a look at where you are.
At the start, you had the dreams of youth
Oppression meets resistance, gather up your faithful team
And in your heart, you’re sure you held the truth
Though something’s maybe tarnished on your old ideal’s gleam
You know –
The villain is the hero of their own peculiar story
But there’s got to be some zero, just a tiny step too far
Like when the Nazis are saluting at the rightness of your glory
You should wonder is it time to take a look at where you are.
It felt so right, your enemy was plain
The stories in the paper were an endless horror cruise
But take a look, those headlines once again
And ask, is this the source you once relied upon for news?
If so –
The villain is the hero of their own peculiar story
But there’s got to be some zero, just a tiny step too far
Like when the Nazis are saluting at the rightness of your glory
You should wonder is it time to take a look at where you are.
Now here you are, you’re marching for your cause
Your sisters there beside you, all your fam, your tribe, your peeps
And next to them, who’s sharing your applause?
You’re calling them your allies when you used to call them creeps
I guess –
The villain is the hero of their own peculiar story
But there’s got to be some zero, just a tiny step too far
Like when the Nazis are saluting at the rightness of your glory
You should wonder is it time to take a look at where you are.
Yes I really think it’s time to take a look at where you are.
