I can't believe no one's commented this song yet, it's one of their best.
I think that the song could be about how badly patriarchal society treats women. It makes several references to exploitation and macho one-track-mindedness, but the line "to always sell what we can't own" implies that in general women are far less bound than men because they still have their dignity intact. I don't really know what to make of the first bit of the song, but I don't think that it is connected directly to the main part. Perhaps a reference to how children grow up taking on their parent's behavior until they either do something extreme or someone breaks the cycle?
