Be a Man
"Do it yourself, don't ask for help"
I'm not capable enough to do it well
As I struggle and tears run down my eyes
You say, "suck it up, real men don't cry"
Take your insecurities out on me
Indoctrinate me with your silly beliefs
Say you want me to be just like you
It'll never happen and that's the truth, so you
Break me down, however you can
Say it out loud, like you always demand
That I should be a man
That I should be a man
Imply that I'm weak, your old school technique
Reduce my worth, with words that hurt, like
That I should be a man
That I should be a man
When I try to express how I feel
You look down on me and say "that's not ideal"
It's demeaning, the way you're teaching me
How to be a human being
With your outdated ideas of masculinity
Your refusal to have any empathy
Your stoicism, dominance, and aggression
Leave me experiencing your oppression
If that's what a man is
Then I'd rather not exist
I'm unfit, it's sick, hey hey
Break me down, however you can
Say it out loud, like you always demand
That I should be a man
That I should be a man
Imply that I'm weak, your old school technique
Reduce my worth, with words that hurt, like
That I should be a man
That I should be a man
I'm not capable enough to do it well
As I struggle and tears run down my eyes
You say, "suck it up, real men don't cry"
Take your insecurities out on me
Indoctrinate me with your silly beliefs
Say you want me to be just like you
It'll never happen and that's the truth, so you
Break me down, however you can
Say it out loud, like you always demand
That I should be a man
That I should be a man
Imply that I'm weak, your old school technique
Reduce my worth, with words that hurt, like
That I should be a man
That I should be a man
When I try to express how I feel
You look down on me and say "that's not ideal"
It's demeaning, the way you're teaching me
How to be a human being
With your outdated ideas of masculinity
Your refusal to have any empathy
Your stoicism, dominance, and aggression
Leave me experiencing your oppression
If that's what a man is
Then I'd rather not exist
I'm unfit, it's sick, hey hey
Break me down, however you can
Say it out loud, like you always demand
That I should be a man
That I should be a man
Imply that I'm weak, your old school technique
Reduce my worth, with words that hurt, like
That I should be a man
That I should be a man
