The title track alludes to the famous attraction of
Madame Tussauds, a
wax museum in London, England. "Baby Doe" was a vocal response to the early
1980 incidents involving the deaths of handicapped newborns that resulted from the withholding of medical treatment. The lyrics go beyond specific criticism to the individuals directly involved in those cases to condemning societal indifference and callousness in general, having lyrics about how "lawyers are bought" and the "presses have run". Taylor later remarked, "I don't like the idea of me just pointing the finger. In the song 'Baby Doe,' I was just as much to blame as the parents, because I wasn't doing anything about it." "We Don't Need No Colour Code" challenged and ridiculed the racial policies of
Bob Jones University, among other institutions. In its style, Taylor intentionally used musical references to African-American musician
Bo Diddley. More recently, Taylor has explained that he finds joy in the song given the success of
anti-racist efforts worldwide over the years. "Guilty By Association" condemns evangelists that abuse Christian teachings and just seek fame and money for themselves. "Over My Dead Body" called for more attention to be given to international violations of
human rights. == Personnel ==
