lyrics

How can it be that your mother is older than your father?
Well the question they ask is telling about their culture
But who am I to judge what they believe about the role of a woman and a man
In their family, when I, too, subscribe to the same old plan:
That a man can do whatever he can,
and a woman's just a mutated man?

I cannot see beyond my mechanical inventions
And I cannot feel beneath my maniacal intentions
But "who am I?" you ask, when you're a mess
That's when we take matters into our hands
We can make you crack under the stress
And then we'll always have a place to stand
On your face, you in the palm of our hands
Maybe some day you'll understand
That you gotta take it like a man
But you're never gonna be a man
