Political Asshole
Pansy Division Lyrics

The lyrics to Pansy Division's song Political Asshole are a commentary on the hypocrisy of politicians and conservative religious groups, particularly in the United States. The opening lines describe how politicians pass laws that strip away individual freedoms, yet they claim to care about the well-being of the people they are supposed to represent. The metaphor used in the song is that sticking a dick up your own asshole is seen as a political act, implying that even something as intimate and private as sexual preference is not immune from political interference.

The second verse targets right-wing Christian groups, who are often associated with conservative social values and restrictive attitudes towards sexuality. The song suggests that these groups try to scare people into following their agenda and that they are willing to sacrifice people's well-being if it means they can raise more funds for their cause. The emphasis on the phrase "your asshole is political" throughout the song implies that even something as seemingly trivial as sexual preference can be subject to political scrutiny and that the consequences can be far-reaching.
