Big Strong Man

You were born into the land of sickening breeze and summer houses
Me, into the province of the personalized number plates
Oh how thrilling it must be, to have money but no taste
Safe behind the electronic gates

You were raised with the relentless extraversion of evangelicals
Taught that you're uncredited if you're not center stage
And they took away your god and let the flood lights bleach your face
A shivering understudy giving sermons in your place

And you will never love me, and that's okay
Think of all the energy I'll save
Praying to a god I made up just to prove I can
Fuck everything and think like a big strong man

Ooh sweet darling, do you ever shut up?
You know i hate it when you interrupt
Let's go out on the town, your search is through
You finally found a girl who's smarter than you

Will never love me, and that's okay
Think of all the energy I'll save
Praying to a god I made up just to prove I can
Fuck everything and think like a big strong man

And when I play you this song, here's what you'll say
I love the breakdown in the middle
And you'll ignore that strange pulsating thing I tore out of my chest
You won't see me rip my heart out
All you see is ugly red
I guess that's what artists do
Wish I could be a big strong man like you

Never never, I'll never be good enough
Never never, I'll never be good enough
Never never, I'll never be good enough
Never never, I'll never be good enough

(You will never love me, and that's okay
Think of all the energy you'll save
Praying to a god I made up just to prove I can
Fuck everything and think like a big strong
Fuck everything and think like a big strong man
I made up just to prove I can
Fuck everything and think like a big strong
Fuck everything and think like a big strong)
