Imagine you were a timetraveller with incredible musical ability. How many years back could you go and sing a specific song in such a way that it would resonate the same way with the people back then.

How many words or phrases would you have to change to make it fit?

Lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPoW19TUfg8

Please, sir, tell me why there's no black Superman, KKK kryptonite?
"God only makes Caucasian super-heroes."
Please, sir, tell me why we stick a man on the moon when life on earth's so cheap?
"Son we gotta do our bit for the world trade deficit."

Please, sir
Please, sir
Tell me why
If "God is love," I'm so dysfunctional

Please, sir, tell me why there's so much vagrancy
"Layabouts get a job." - Well, there's an opening for a part-time Unabomber Please, sir, tell me why my life's so pitiful but "the future's so bright."
Well, I'd look ahead but it burns my retinas

Please, sir
Please, sir
Tell me why
If "God is love," I'm so dysfunctional

Www and Infotainment are such good albums. I saw them open for Static-X back in the 90s and it fucking ruled.
