Institutionalized Misogyny

Not complaining, I’m just figuring out
How everything left us behind
I got my problems, I’m aware of them
I’ll take care of them, never you mind
You’re still repeating prerecorded things
They used to say in universities and
Books on left-wing politics and law
About underlying structures that
So far as they mean anything
Still won’t support the personal
Connections that you draw
Institutionalized misogyny
That’s all that stands between
My baby and me
Whoo!
Now science tells us I’m hardwired to
I’m required to, do it with you
'cause I’m a man, and you’re a woman
And that’s what those kind of people do
I stole that line from Woody Allen
Isn’t it amusing? I wish
I could make you understand
What Woody Allen meant
If there’s no such thing as
Objective reality, why can’t we quit
Our jobs and just imagine we won’t
Have to pay the rent?
Institutionalized misogyny
That’s why they’re charging rent
To my baby and me
Michelle, ma belle: Ton beau
Michel Foucault
A Foucault dependence
Always ready to go
I think we’re alone
I might have known (ooh!)
She’s got Chomsky on the phone
Institutionalized misogyny
That’s all that stands between
My baby and me
My baby and me
My baby and me
