Cover art for The Maid Needs a Maid lyrics by Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton

i believe this is about double standards. guys put each other first, "hoes" are below them in a kind of way, and that males have the right to a maid to tell clean them, feed them, and be their stereotypical "housewives".

when she talks about how "you wouldn't need a real job/i'd love to pay for you", she's basically saying she wants a "housewife" to do all the same things to her, too.
