To be a man is quite unknown How to rule this earthly throne Not many men, i fear do know What it is to rule this throne i know A macho man with hard spiked hair Will run from virtue hard and fair Honour, truth and fairness just To swallow pride and loose his lust There's many things a man must know That make him male that make him so The path I choose, the image I take May seem effeminate, to fools I make A truth beknown to me, I say To be a man takes many a day It's not enough to lust and drool To chase your pride around a fool Discipline, honour, strength and trust Much what I hold higher than lust. A macho man, a townie lad Aren't men to me, and I'm so glad That with the pain I tolerate that I am man i think they hate The strength I get from all due pain To be a man, to smile again.
