you might want to see a doctor about that, and tell any recent sexual partners to get tested as well

There's nothing wrong with PoW lyrics.

They seem too cheesy and use cliche rebellious phrases, kinda like when Muse decides to get all political. Plus in terms of what the song is talking about I think it came out a few years too late.
