The times they are unshaven

Has anybody ever noticed how all the bad guys in history have dodgy facial hair? This is another tasteless lyric from Bad Track Records! (Not by the legendary Robert Zimmerframe but bearing a passing resemblance to Times they are a' changing)


THE TIMES THEY ARE UNSHAVEN

Strong men all tremble
Its just as they feared
confronted by a baddy
In a strangely shaped beard
It ain’t really right
And its probably not fair
To judge a man on the strength
Of his odd facial hair

But stubble equals trouble
And much misbehavin’
And the times they are unshaven

It just looks so sinister
And no lesser than that
If its not a Bin laden
Or a Yasser Arafat
Men find him threatening
Women find him cute
For a villain ain’t gone wrong
If he just ain’t hirsute

And without the daft ‘tache
And the clothing all khaki
You can’t cut a dash
As Iranian or Iraqi
So forget the hi-tech
Cruise missiles and lasers
When the going get tough
The tough ditch their razors!
