Like a big red flag

Reminiscent of the long-dead population of Easter Island , humanity is stuck in a solar system-sized bubble and, as time ticks away, they can’t help but cannibalize everything good in their ever-failing quest to leave the solar system behind.

Thank you! I love this.

I've had relations
With girls of many nations
And I've made passes
At women of all classes

Thanks, Billy Bragg. I can feel the solidarity right now.

Peasant girls! Slave girls! Bourgeois girls! Proletarian girls!

Just because you're gay I won't turn you away
If you stick around I'm sure we'll find some common ground

CHORUS
Sexuality — strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality — your laws do not apply to me</i>

You seem to be missing my point. Hint: a song about how much one supports everyone's right to express their own sexuality is generally not best suited by beginning from a place of bragging about one's international and inter-class cocksmanship.

Do not assume that the song is intended to be an uncritical celebration of the first-person protagonist's attitudes.
