Wow. This is like the ultimate "the emperor has no clothes" story. This may be the most powerfully subversive song I've ever heard. I heard this and thought, "Damn! It really takes balls to write such an honest song." It really says the unsayable that I think a lot of people really know in their heart of hearts but don't dare say- even to themselves. Robbie says folks walk out of his shows when he plays this. It's not hard to imagine.

It reminds me of some of the things the main character says in the great novel "Judas My Brother" by Frank Yarby. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas,_My_Brother
