Hart, Hammerstein, Lerner and Lehrer Roll Over in Their Graves

This is what passes for brilliant/witty lyrics on Broadway today:

Minchin, who is thirty-sever, is a musical satirist in the tradition of Tom Lehrer, whose sarcastic ditties if the Cold War era included "So Long, Mom (A Song for World War II)" and "The Old Dope Peddler." His targets include organized religion (from "The Pope Song": "If you cover for another motherf***er who's a kiddie f***er/ F**k you, you're no better than the motherf***ing rapist"), homeopathy, liberal piety ("Take your canvas bags/to the supermarket"), Jesus (a.k.a. "zombie Jew"), and his own sizable ego. A kind of rationalist Russell Brand, he presents himself as a secular gadfly, a voice of sanity in a dismayingly daft world. 

Daft the world may be, but if that's a voice of sanity the Broadway musical deserves to die.
