What is the intended meaning of this song?

Billy Jack Bitch Lyrics
Artist: Prince (Buy Prince CDs)
Album: The Gold Experience


Billy Jack Bitch (Billy Jack, Billy Jack)
(Bitch) {Fishbone's "Lyin' Ass Bitch" sample repeats throughout song}
What if I called U silly names
Just like the ones that U call me?
What if I filled your eyes with tears
So many that U cannot see?

CHORUS:
Billy Jack Bitch - Do U ever really cry? (Billy Jack Bitch)
Billy Jack Bitch - Do U ever really try? (Billy Jack Bitch)
Billy Jack Bitch - Do U ever wonder why? (Billy Jack Bitch)
Billy Jack Bitch (Billy Jack Bitch)

(Billy Jack Bitch)

What if I told U that U're worth
Only half of what U be?
Would U come forth and tell no lies?
Would U come forth and talk 2 me?

CHORUS

(Billy Jack Bitch)

What distortion could U let your pen forget 2day?
What misfortune left your heart so broken U only say
Words intended 2 belittle or dismay?
What if I say U lie?
Billy Jack Bitch (Well)

Open letters aren't the only things that open wounds
Long hard shiny rocket ships can fly U 2 the moon

Whenever evil wants 2 groove
Come let me fly U 2 the moon
Then U can see how love will bloom
Joy - it's in the dictionary
See "J" Billy Jack Bitch

Do U ever really cry? (Do U ever really cry Billy Jack Bitch?)
Do U ever really try? (Do U ever really try Billy Jack Bitch?)
Do U ever wonder why? (Do U ever wonder why Billy Jack Bitch?)
Oh, Billy Jack Bitch (Billy Jack Bitch)
Billy, Billy, oh yeah yeah yeah!

(Do U ever really cry Billy Jack Bitch?)
(Do U ever really try Billy Jack Bitch?) Cry, cry
(Do U ever wonder why Billy Jack Bitch?) Try, try
(Billy Jack Bitch) Billy, Billy, oh

(Billy Jack Bitch)
(Billy Jack, Billy Jack)
(Billy Jack Bitch)

Uh
(Billy Jack, Billy Jack)
Yeah, uh
(Billy Jack, Billy Jack) {x2}
(Billy Jack Bitch)
Solo with that on there

(Billy Jack Bitch) {x2}
Please access another experience
Please access another experience"
(Billy Jack Bitch)

Ha ha ha ha ha
Y'all some tight motherfuckers



type-o
lol

It's about a female gossip columnist...CJ... from The Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper. Apparently, she was a bitch...

These particular verse are interesting:

What if I told U that U're worth
Only half of what U be?
Would U come forth and tell no lies?
Would U come forth and talk 2 me?

CHORUS

(Billy Jack Bitch)

What distortion could U let your pen forget 2day?
What misfortune left your heart so broken U only say
Words intended 2 belittle or dismay?
What if I say U lie?
Billy Jack Bitch (Well)

Was she reporting on him or was this a former friend/acquaintance or just someonw with a crappy attitude/disposition?

Just a rather harsh gossiping hen, i think.

It's about Prince's belief in the possibilty existing of a consciousness being able to originate during the breakdown of a bicameral mind.

Prince was being quite nice when he wrote that song.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

I love the horn section at the end of the song. It´s just great.
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."
