lyrics
Hi I’m a white man, and if you’ve already / tuned out, I don’t blame you – out of the / frying pan and into the fire, I catch alight as an / effigy to everything ever considered uninspired / but we’re here now, and what you hear now / the sound of bleeding out? Not quite but / astounding levels of proud men who meddle in any / channel of life has me asking the fuck why / - why – are men intent on being the best? / this competitive edge has us hedging our bets and / leaving us bereft of any sensitivity we’re / indebted heavily to the now so what’s left? / and what’s right? The alt-right? These / alt facts delivered in spite of the rightly oppressed I / am aggressed, not impressed, yes I am a part of it / patriarchal entitlement stamped upon my chest / - smash this text with every regret spent on / every tear wept and tipped into this system, for / every man confused by all demands abused just / stop being defensive by all that’s written and / listen...
Man takes – whatever he / wants and propagates lies – trying to / colonise estate lines – the home, the / place built for him to indoctrinate, what a way to / facilitate violence – the cycle is / vicious and in his simmering silence, behind these / eyes are no limits, grimacing, figure with precision / that as one of these guys he can do what he likes / - woman – child – victims living in a / prison with indifference - rules defined, tools / are shined, sharpened, darkness a / stark reminder that he always has an axe grind /
What does it take to be a man?
Man fights – all minorities / like it’s not ok to be white, false dichotomy / stop – propping your feet on ideologies / claiming men don’t have any rights, honestly / online hypocrisy cross the divide into / terrorist plots for belligerent minds when men / feed misogyny a word to the wise they / radicalise boys and enable their pride / - hate – lives – realise this / purpose is immersed in blame, all the while, / afraid, denial, hurting, turning / shame into a dangerous weapon for mass demise /
What does it take to be a man?
Man is – a chauvinist a / homophobe prejudiced – sink below and / get a wiff – this is – not a joke this is / pestilence wrapped in a preventable antidote, as it / goes this is it – masculinity / charged within this flint – struck and lit in / structures where you live, no love, cause no equalities / decided by the size of your dick / - change – is – accountability / not being complicit, sitting on your hands and / living – in a privileged position, but taking a / stand – by refusing what it takes to be a man...
