Society has made a pact
On how we must act
People tell me to be a real man
But that seems like a stupid plan
Because every time a guy describes a real man
I hear the way they perceive themselves
A father
Says a real man takes care of his children
A fighter
Says a real man is a protector
We need to break this masculine projector
I used to think being a real man
Meant having a *****
But I'm not even sure about that anymore
How do we unlock
This malebox?
We'd have to leave our houses of hiding
And walk to the road that connects us to each other
But when the fashion is to fake
Our compassion starts to break
In a world
Where things are simple
We can't have a pimple
In a world
Fundamentally filled with maleboxes
We search for a loving locksmith
