This song is looked upon, often, as Frank’s best guitar solo. This was the only one for this album where he didn’t use the xenochronous technique, or reusing old guitar solos and putting them into new songs or compositions.

[Intro: Central Scrutinizer]
This is the Central Scrutinizer...
Joe has just worked himself into an imaginary frenzy
During the fade-out of his imaginary song...

And imaginary vocals
Exist only in the imagination of the imaginer!
And... ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway?
So... So...

...Who gives a fuck anyway?
So he goes back to his ugly little room
And quietly dreams his last imaginary guitar solo...
[Guitar Solo]
