The Free Radical

(The Man Behind the Curtain by Spock’s Beard from their 2010 album X)

Have you felt it? Or perhaps you only heard “Brace for impact!”

There’s something coming down the ‘pike. Stand ready, ye of knowing anticipation.

There’s been a major breakthrough, but don’t expect them to have it on channel 16.

They’re still presenting the very same clowns and frozen cutouts.

It’s not like all that’s still hidden deep in the shadows is about to expose itself ‘like Uncle Todd who likes to wave his penis.’ (That’s a Steve Martin quote.) Naw, it’s more like those who are standing out in the sunshine, professing the light, but who are a whiter shade of deathly pale than Procol Harum ever knew– their lying facades will melt like old-fashioned ice cream– not like that crap you buy at Walmart that says “Fridges? We don’t need no stinking fridges!”

It’s time for the posers and false prophets to reap their just desserts. You can’t claim the light with lies– even consistent ones. First we have to weed out the the misleaders before our movement gets underway…

And then we’ll be back to inspect the old ruins to see who’s crouching in old hidey-holes. They’ll be time later to deal with war criminals and the generational usurpers of democracy. But first we’re purging our own ranks… before things really get too rank!

You grifters know who you are! Or maybe you don’t; that’s the problem! Ah well, we see you now for what we wanted to believe, but lies and character flaws don’t stand on their own. As for the man behind the curtain… He certainly was no man!

Here we go…!
