Your equations, your essays never hit an illogic mind.
Aim for that heart, aim for it, we will leave the logic behind.
You'll travel far, you'll travel, boy, you'll see the end of Bahati.
You'll see them fall, you'll see them pay, you'll be the end of Yoweri.
Co co, co co co.
They're getting soft, they're getting old, you'll see the fall of Johnny.
Don't make a story, make a hit, you'll see the fall of Golding.
Cause all that they know'd of cottages
Cottages buttoned them down, buttoned them down
Once they got into cottages
Cottages buttoned them down
Let them pick up th'attack, th'attack, th'attack, th'attack, th'attack,
We gonna button them down
And all that they know'd of cottages buttoned them down.
Before Owen gave this song a title, it was labelled "All That They Know". At one concert, "Y'all" was used as a joke title.
David Bahati is the Ugandan politician who proposed the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which would make "aggravated homosexuality" a capital offence. Yoweri Museveni, the President of Uganda, supported the bill.
Bruce Golding, the Prime Minister of Jamaica, is opposed to homosexuality and supports keeping homosexual acts illegal in Jamaica. His 2001 election campaign theme song celebrates the burning and killing of gay men.
In place of "Johnny", Owen mentions Beenie Man, a Jamaican musician with lyrics promoting violence against homosexuals. [source]
