Natural Disasters Lyrics
In which god's name
Will we be killed?
Who's most righteous?
Who's most terrified?
When your parents left the house
We would creep up to their room
To the drawer
Beside the bed
We would pull out
The shining dildo
One side dink
The other side Jesus
Not hedonists
Not atheists
Churchgoers
Block parents
I wonder what lurks
In neighbors' drawers?
The most pristine
Are hiding everything
Is this our decaying society?
And these are the married ones
What about the others?
Don't condemn your life
To be riddled with shame
Everyone's hands
Cause natural disasters.
i think that "natural disasters" could be a reference to the multiple occurrences of televangelists claiming that natural disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.) are the result of god punishing sexual deviants. an example of what i am talking about is jerry falwell stating that hurricane katrina was god punishing the actions of gays and lesbians (as it occurred in a sector of the united states with a high gay, lesbian, etc. population). so therefore, "everyone's hands cause natural disasters," as i interpret it, is saying that everyone, including the most self righteous and holiest of christians, engage in sexual behavior or have sexual fantasies that could be regarded as immoral, disgusting, or ill-mannered.
"don't condemn your life to be riddled with shame" could be a statement towards those who are outspoken against "sexual deviancy" but do questionable acts behind closed doors. "don't condemn you life" meaning don't speak out against those acts that you commit yourself and "...to be riddled with shame" meaning just that, to be riddled with shame once you're caught.
the "is this our 'decaying society'" part is most likely a statement against said people who claim that these sexual acts are the reason why our society is on a moral decline. this question asks, "are these acts, the ones that you do behind close doors but are to afraid to admit to them, the reason that our society is on a moral decline?"
like my cock
the picture at the bottom of the lyric sheet makes me laugh.
after a nice little story, propagandhi spell the point out with the last two lines..
What a great message this song has - the self-righteous fuckers who single others out as being the downfall of society do and think all the same shit, they just do it behind closed doors. So true.
Don't condemn your life to be riddled with shame. Everyone's hands cause natural disasters.
Anyone know what that line means directly?
I think there might be more to this song, but what it is I don't think we'll know unless it's in an interview somewhere.
Kudos to kaleyouridols. You said it, dude. Religious people are fucking hypocrites.

And all fags are going to hell. And all priests are pedophiles. And all cops are bastards. Any more? These kinds of generalizations are worthless and empty. "Religious people [85% of the worlds population] are fucking hypocrites." sigh...

i wonder what he means when he says "one side dink the other side jesus"
the dildo was in the drawer of a nightstand beside the bed. theres a nightstand on each side of the bed, one side has the dildo and the other side has some sort of religious object (a bible, cross, statue, or something else). but thats just the obvious literal meaning. what he was really trying to get acrossed was that theyre hypocrites. on one side (the side the world sees, the jesus side) they are pure god fearing people who avoid sin but on the other side (behind closed doors, the dildo side) they are just as 'deviant' if not...
