They Might Be Giants – Particle Man lyrics
Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? It's not important
Particle man

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, particle man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man

Universe man, universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man

Hes got a watch with a minute hand,
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, universe man

Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man

Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man

    To me this song is a rather scathing commentary on the Christian religion. Particle Man was pagan humanity, each person managing their own relationship with the divine. Triangle Man represents the Father, Son and Holy Ghost the Christians are always talking about: they hate Pagans. Universe Man represents Zenists of all types, Buddhists, Taoists, etc - everyone's happy around Universe Man. Person Man represents modern humanity, faced with preexisting religious views competing for their advocacy, made to feel inadequate by many religions and struggling to just survive. Notice the Traingle Man hates everyone and always wins - the state of Christian religion in today's western world.
