Q&A
on being a bastard Lyrics
Farewell friend until tomorrow. Where you are still nitpicking our diets and names. The potential is still there yet it's somehow unexpected. I'll show you courage if you show me responsibility. Something lost long ago in trying to please everyone. In pleasing ourselves. If it feels good it must be right. Right? So what's a child? A fetus or kink in sexual revolution and what am I? A threat, a kink in political consistency. More name games and more personal choice. So where's mine? Or are you to deal me such luxuries. Call me what I am and mean every word. Be prepared to take yours. You see you're not along. I'll show you responsibility if you show me reasoning. Something you never possessed. You always coveted anger and vengeance. But for what? One less bite, one less burden. I'm sick of being the bastard. Keep your fight and know i'll keep mine.

about "politically correct" people.. . ?
I think this song about generically "liberal" kids being self-righteous and giving him shit.
"nintpicking our diets" = vegans/veggies.
The later half seems to be about abortion. "Right? So what's a child? A fetus or kink in sexual revolution? and what am I? A threat, a kink in political consistency." He's saying you're allowed to disagree with issues that punk and hardcore fans generally consider "the good side" - aka white-bread liberalism. How is abortion not killing a child? Since when did the sexual revolution mean it was okay? "sick of being the bastard" means sick of being the supposed bad guy on this touchy subject.
