This next song has a little bit of cursing in it, too, but not in the service of a (potentially, forgivably) anti-American screed¹. Instead, you have a narrative poem about stopping a male neighbor from beating a woman. The cursing comes from the speaker’s rage and sense of what’s right; as a storytelling device, the language is both authentic and involving. It may give us a way to enter the story and see how we might feel about the relationships in play.
Here are the lyrics for “Dorian.” (I apologize for the quality of both the site and the quality of the lyrical transcription; if I had the time to transcribe these songs myself, I would.) You can load a video that plays the song here — don’t shy away from clicking through to purchase the song and/or album, of course.
