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

Hoo!

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, oo-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
