Ego (what do I know)

Ego is larger than your word
Everything you touch it turns to gold
But I can see you're shattered at your core
My part is to mop up the floor

Oh what do I know right
Nothin
But you ask to stay the night
Oh what do I know right
Nothin
But you stay to win the fight

Did your daddy tell you I'd be hard to please
Or maybe you just thought I'd get on my knees
Lately I've run out of sympathy
Your sob story is getting weak

Oh what do I know right
Nothin
Oh what do I know right
Nothin

Oh what do I know right
Nothin
Oh what do I know right
Nothin

Patriarchial culture
Which says to boys and young men that to be needy in relationships
To be emotional with someone is girly
You know that a real man is you know doesn't ask directions or express a need
Or you know
They don't go to doctors if they feel bad
They don't ask for help
There's a quote that I really like
Men fear that becoming we
Will erase his I
You know
His sense of self
