"By the way,
Why do we think it's OK
For people to pretend they can talk to the dead?
Isn't that not totally fucked in the head
Lying to some crying woman whose child has died
And telling her you're in touch with the other side?
I think that's fundamentally sick
Do we need to clarify here, that there's no such thing as a psychic?
What, are we fucking 2?
Do we actually think that Horton Heard a Who?
Do we still believe that Santa brings us gifts?
That Michael Jackson didn't have facelifts?
Are we still so stunned by circus tricks
That we think that the dead would
Wanna talk to pricks
Like John Edwards?"
Is it normal to be able to see, talk and interact with the dead?

Everybody knows that Horton *actually* heard that Who... And then he and that Who went on to change the mutherfuckin WORLD man... the fucking world!!!
...And if you listen real good... you could hear your own Who, and you might change the world, too. ;D

Well, to quote another part of the song: "These people aren’t applying a skill, they're either lying or mentally ill."
