lyrics

Don’t tell me what I cannot be

Neanderthal hardmen freak me out
Ooh! The alphas are hungry
Fit in, or they’ll eat you up
Passed the test? Congratu-fucking-lations!
Round hole. Square peg. Not defined by my dick
Don’t tell me to “man up”

Sorry I don't meet your standards
Insecure projection
"Grow some balls"
"Be a man!"

I don’t understand
In fact, for you I just feel sad
Don’t think I’ll ever be your kind of man

These expectations hurt us all
Lift heavy shit! Chug! Nut the ball!
Break your hand punching the wall
Fuck these old redundant norms

Don't tell me what I cannot do
Gonna look the way I choose
Does it spoil your manly day if I live life in my own way?
Don’t tell me what I cannot be
