Life Is A Drag

Lyrics
[Ramsay] Submitted for your inspection The evolutionary erection Of primitive man But before we explore the question of his sense of style We must point out his predilection To cover his glands Brothers, we've been led to believe That between Adam and Eve There was nothing to hide [McTurk] Were it not for eve's primal haste Or a leaf strategically placed Who knows what she'd decide Eve and some guy named Clyde [Ramsay & McTurk] That's why life is a drag Life is just a pose in a rag You can play the part of [Ramsay] Pusher or pastor [McTurk] Of harlot or hag [Ramsay & McTurk] Life is just a dressing game Life is a drag [Low] The argument can be rendered All bodies are forcibly gendered By how they are wrapped And though popular opinion holds this Makes us civilized So much deference is attended To what's in one's lap [The Mayor] History proves that who wears the pants Is as much a mere circumstance As a matter of time Ultimately, why should we care Where one buys one's lace underwear If one is so inclined Show me yours, I'll show mine [Low & Mayor] That's why life is a drag Fashion is a long running gag [Quartet of Revolutionaries] We can deck you out in sequins or spandex A mohawk or shag Who remembers unisex? Life is a drag [All] (It's a drag, what a drag) You can be a stag in a bag (Bag of stag, don't let your tail wag) They won't know until you're Stiff on the slab and they look at the tag What you see is what you get Life is a drag [Instrumental interlude] Let's just say we hereby conspire That a change of attire Is all part of the plan But something that was so long suppressed Starts to show when you wear a dress And if clothes make the man They can unmake the man That's why life is a drag Life is just a pose in a rag You can play the part of Pusher or pastor Of harlot or hag Life is just a dressing game Life is a drag (It's a drag, what a drag) Fashion is a long running gag (Running gag) But aren't you glad they found A way to look hip When your butt starts to sag Praise the Lord, designer jeans! What you see is what you get Who remembers unisex and Who are you calling fag? Life is a drag!
