Existential Man, by Jack Simmons (click for MP3)

God is Dead, God is Dead,
That's at least what Nietzsche said,
Good and Evil are passé
Life is literature anyway
Despair, Existential Man


Kierkegaard, Kierkegaard,

Does his best to make it hard

Hates Hegel, Hates the Crowd

Even Christians are too loud,

Despair, Existential Man

Reading Russian is pesky

Like punishment and crime,

But even Dostoevsky

Beats Being and Time

John Paul Sartre, John Paul Sartre,

Making love to a French Tart,

Heidegger, yes it’s true,

Had a saucy mistress too

Despair, Thrown into life in anguish

Left by God to languish

You’re existential man.
