Continuing with my analysis/ my take on the 'Story of FLAG' the proprietors of the Asylum use the girls mental illnesses to attract an audience to humiliate and profit from the girls condition, instead of trying to help them.
The men who ask questions also give a small (biased) view on how mental disorders were viewed in the past.
Outside of the story, this song is a powerful satirical take on medication, women's rights and society itself:
"If insanity's primarily a feminish malady - and no one's doubting that, for it's a scientific fact!" The quickness of society to support paradigms in modern society.
"We've got pills for:
Agression
Opression
Depression
Manic depression
But there's a pill for everything these days!"
Another take on the heavily reliance of medication in today's society, less serious than, "Take The Pill"
"They're really more like animals than people
Which haven't proven to have any souls at all
The only bits that aren't inferior
Are bosom and posterior
And these are only useful in a seedy music hall"
This bit bashes religion and the objectification of women.
Finally the last bit, from "I've got a lot more words to say..." to the end of the song, is a bash on just about everything relating to women: from women's rights to science to religion to sexuality.
There's so much more to say about this song, and the message it portrays, but Ill stop here.
