The world wants delicate creatures That never rust When with the faintest vibration They crumble into dust So you can keep the fresh bouquets Lined up on your bedpost I'm happy just to be the mulch That made the garden grow She's Japanese and Cherokee And whiter than a ghost She'll pull your hair and scratch your back She's quite the host She's definitely not the type For meat and potatoes The broke-back boys and wig-haired girls Are scratching their elbows The world wants strong features That never fade When only a sliver of us Ever hole that ace So you can keep making time While your soldiers make haste I'll be the one with a blowtorch In a vat of toxic waste
