Up until today I had all these notions about being a man They fell down Out of my smile Out of my pride Out of my mind And I was left with only my hands What if this world were run by a woman? What if we really had respect for a woman’s word? Where would that leave us? Where would that leave me? I played big notes with my mind A moved my hands like lightning Good, I thought It’s not all bad And there’s definitely a weight loss You could say I’m a new man

A New Man
Up until today I had all these notions about being a man They fell down Out of my smile Out of my pride Out of my mind And I was left with only my hands What if this world were run by a woman? What if we really had respect for a woman’s word? Where would that leave us? Where would that leave me? I played big notes with my mind A moved my hands like lightning Good, I thought It’s not all bad And there’s definitely a weight loss You could say I’m a new man
