Wild Beasts – All The King's Men Lyrics 14 years ago
I always thought (and hoped) that this was a satire on ideas of masculinity.

"throw out your shoes"?
"you're birthing machines"?

From the Wikipedia article "Barefoot and Pregnant":

"Shinine Antony[...]said[...]"Barefoot And Pregnant is a phrase that pokes fun at chauvinists who want their women barefoot (so that they are unable to socialize) and pregnant (helpless)""

Sounds about right for this song.
