This song is about how some women objectify themselves with their utilitarian femininity. It conevys the feeling of a male person, suffering from the social consequences of being anybody, who has the feeling that he has been wronged. He goes on to explain how they would suffer the same if she didn’t...
[Verse 1]
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd float down to the sea
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd say just what you please
Without the sticky little kitten
Your ticket could never be free
[Chorus]
Without the tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancer would eat to the bone
Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
[Verse 2]
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd burn all these dying leaves
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd lift this steaming herd
You would kill all the sick ones
You would bury them deep in the earth
[Chorus]
Without the tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancers would eat to the bone
Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
