This song is a dry social critique of patriarchy. Patriarchy is a social system in which males hold primary power, predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property and hold authority over women.
He’d Send in the Army Lyrics
The family's head gives orders
In the end, what he says goes
This system's well constructed
She owes him all she gets
The army has its uses
In times of civil crisis
'Allo boys! Seen any action?
Hey boys, seen any... action?
Pull together with your mates
Against the common enemy
The Private's not born that way
The Private's not born that way
Guns take up all his time
With no job he'd be in a mess
Wanted action, gets some in
She pays him back in the bedroom
One step down from her leader
Obeys, or is punished
Like he obeys his bosses
