I can see why you might consider that line "is not good songwriting", but 'Cigaro' is one of their nonsense songs. Could you seriously tell my "Why don't Presidents fight the war/why do they always send the poor" (B.Y.O.B) or "My sweet revenge/Is in the making/it's for the taking" (Revenga) is poor?

I disagree that it's poor songwriting, but it's all a matter of taste - (In my opinion) some songs (whoever the artist) should be delved into and they have a deep meaning; others should simply be taken on face value.

Respect for not going "System suck and that's final" though.
Don't worry too much about me, ignore me long enough and I'll go away.
