The title of this song is arbitrary and unrelated to its content. It was scrawled in a bathroom stall at the "old" John Henry's in Eugene, OR. The song itself is a pep talk for human beings.
lyrics
This is a prayer for the broken ones
I know we'll make it through
The cracker jack and token ones
Will always step on you
Don't let the bastards make you think you're the one who's insane
They're like cattails on windy days
And when the wind dies down
The dirt and the rocks will remain
Most of the ones we aspire to be
Would be lucky if they were us
'Cause once you get past all their status and cash
There's not really much to discuss
