lyrics

Hey man do you know that you
Live in a sexist world
Where you’re born with more
Than you deserve

Because this world
Yeah it’s all yours
And every movie
You can be the star

Alone late at night
You’ll probably be alright
Have all the sex you want
Encouraged; not a slut

You can participate
In macho rape culture
You can have it all
So this song’s for you

I don’t need to
Feel powerful
(Systematic control)
(You can’t let go)

All this “maleness”
Is so fragile
(Systematic control)
(Fear of the other)

Don’t be what they want you to be
In death we’re all the same
Give life equality

Hey man do you know that you
Are sexist too?
But I believe
That you don’t wanna be

So stop joining in
And take a look around
Hidden in plain sight
Is the truth

They say we’ve come a long way
Women have more rights today
But take a closer look
Everything’s still fucked

Oh the irony
Of masculinity
(Systematic control)
(You can’t let go)

So unsure
Of what it needs to be
(Systematic control)
(Fear of the other)

Don’t be what they want you to be
In death we’re all the same
Give life equality

(Systematic control)
(Systematic control)
(Systematic control)
Can you let go?
