letra de be a man - pink williams

i don’t understand the world we live in
back in my day, men were men and women were women
the usa was number one, and everybody had a gun
and you could get away with being racist by saying “just kidding”
we didn’t give out prizes for partic-p-tion
and we didn’t lend a hand to any third world nation
we feared god and the world feared us
and minority groups didn’t make a fuss
the country was great if you were a rich caucasian

america used to be a lot more manly
dudes had names like d-ck and ralph and stanlеy
we flew our flag and drove a jeep
and our wivеs and daughters didn’t make a peep
when we drank too much and took it out on the family
being a man meant being emotionally cold
bottlin’ up your feelings ’til you’re shriveled and old
we never hugged our daddies, ’cause they thought it’d make us g-y
but we were too d-mn scared of them to try anyway

when a boy became a man, the time had come
to send him off to war to have a little fun
’cause there ain’t nothing manlier than guns and smoke and steel
and k!llin’ whoever they tell you to ’til you’re too d-mn numb to feel
and when we come back traumatized, we take it out on you
’cause we were told it’s the manly thing to do
therapy is for sissies, a man should hide his pain
’til it comes back up as trauma, and we slowly go insane
we weren’t allowed to shed a single tear
there’s no room for weakness, doubt, or fear
a man should be as stoic as a statue made of stone
but most of all, a man should be alone
alone with all the pain inside
alone with all the guilt
and every man should break his heart
for this construct that we’ve built
’cause what’s the point of all the h-ll our fathers put us through
if we don’t keep tradition by putting it all on you?
