IAMX, "The Negative Sex"
(2006)

Pay no attention to obedience
The kids and wishes fix and forgotten for my self-defense
We all want to fuck ourselves and rape the world
For the odds of the cult will prevail
And vanity, not God, not love

Oh no, they can't leave it alone
Oh no, we can't leave it alone

Because a negative sex was born into a bloodline
The negative sex is power for a lifetime

Show man the mix of the alternative
It's all ammunition for the gender-bend and the bedroom twist
They say that the fashion's just not feminist
But the sweet and the turn-on sits in the laps of the girls with the balls and the hits

Oh no, they can't leave it alone
Oh no, we can't leave it alone

Because the negative sex was born into a bloodline
The negative sex is power for a lifetime
The negative sex was born into a bloodline
The negative sex is power for a lifetime


Thanks, Dru and Weed!

I've always considered any references to gender-bending more secondary to the feminist "rahhh dudes ruin everything" message of this song, so it's never struck me as very queer. However, I think more crap about how one gender is better than the other is the last thing the world needs, so the song's probably more enjoyable if you just look at it and go hey! Girls with balls!
