Naked lunch: naked lunch is a novel that William S. Burroughs wrote in the 50’s under the influence of some heavy duty drugs. In 1991, director David Cronenberg adapted the novel into a bizarre film in which an exterminator addicted to his own pesticides becomes involved in a secret government plot being orchestrated by giant bugs in an Islamic port town in Tangier.
The song however has less to do with the novel and film than it does with the idea of judgment and hypocrisy. The character in the song openly voices his disgust with the idea of alcohol and psychoactive drugs, yet at the close of the second verse he concludes by ingesting bug powder to free himself from his outrage.
