The meaning behind this song is basically what the title says. Although not literally to bash pregnant women, it makes fun of their righteous feelings.
It was featured on their TV show on episode 7 called Eggs where they attend a baby sprinkle.
[Verse 1]
Pregnant women are smug
Everyone knows it, nobody says it
Because they’re pregnant
Effing son of a gun
You think you’re so deep now
You give me the creeps
Now that you’re pregnant
I can’t count all the ways how
You speak in clichés now
[Skit]
G: So, do you want a boy or a girl?
O: Oh, doesn't matter as long as it's healthy
G: Really? 'Cause I don't feel like those two things are related at all. It's not like one or the other
O: No, no, no, no, as long as it's healthy, hm!
[Verse 2]
I can’t wait to hear someone say
Don’t care if it’s brain-dead
Don’t care if it’s limbless
If it has a penis
'Cause pregnant women are smug
Everyone knows it, nobody says it
Because they’re pregnant
This zen world you’re enjoying
Makes you really annoying
[Skit]
G: So, is it a boy or a girl?
O: Oh, we know, but we're not telling
G: What are you gonna name it?
O: Oh, we know, but we're not telling
G: Who's the father?
O: Oh, we know... but we're not... telling...
[Verse 3]
Bitch, I don’t really care
I was being polite now
Since you have no life now
That you’re pregnant
You say you’re walking on air
You think that you’re glowing
But you had been ho-ing
And now you’re pregnant
You’re just giving birth now
You’re not Mother Earth now
[Skit]
G: Yeah, I have a lot going on. I got my degree, I moved, I wrote a novel--
O: Gosh, everything just seems so trivial now that I'm pregnant
G: I also built a nuclear fusion reactor
O: You know, I can't even remember what I did before I was pregnant. Everything just seems so meaningless, hm!
[Outro]
Pregnant women are smug
Everyone knows it, nobody says it
Because they’re pregnant
Effing son of a gun
You think you’re so deep now
You give me the creeps now
Now that you’re pregnant
