Long Haired Asshole
Rebellion Anthems: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Long Haired Asshole'
Lyrics
Me and a buddy Joe were hanging...
Narrator and friend Joe were spending time together
Out in a bar the other night
They were at a bar on a recent night
And we got into this little argument
An argument arose with people of short hair
With some people with short hair
The disagreement escalated with individuals in business suits
And they called us a bunch of long haired assholes
They were insulted as "long haired assholes"
I thought that was kind of unfair
Narrator finds the accusation unfair
Well people with short hair and business suits
Short-haired people in business suits caused the S&L disaster
The caused the S&L disaster
This event has long-lasting consequences
We'll be paying for that for the rest of our lives
Reflection on the impact of the S&L disaster
But I'm a long haired asshole I'm a long haired asshole
Reiteration of being a long haired asshole
Well people with short hair and business suits
Short-haired people in business suits run the CIA
The run the CIA
They violate laws they are meant to protect
They break the laws they're suppose to protect
Short-haired individuals in business suits break the laws they should follow
The laws they're suppose to obey
Highlighting the irony of their actions
And people with short hair and business suits
They also control organized crime
They run all organized crime
They appear respectable but engage in illegal activities
They dress real neat and smell real sweet
Emphasizing the contrast between appearance and actions
Well people with short hair and business suits
Short-haired people in business suits are responsible for various disasters
Are responsible for all these disaster
Recognition of their influence despite disasters
But that don't change the way they walk
Despite their deeds, it doesn't change their demeanor
Lord, I'm still a long haired asshole
Personal affirmation as a long haired asshole
I'm a long haired asshole
Reiteration of the narrator being a long haired asshole
