Man down
Before we get another
Man down
Let's hear it for our brothers
Man down
There's no need to keep it all inside
Man down
Don't you live by their command now
And be another cardboard cut out
There are so many ways that you could shine
I'll be grateful always
For the way that I was raised
Who I want to be
Wasn't decided for me
I'll be sorry always
To see other men chase
The alpha prison cell
Cutting out parts of themselves
Yeah I know what you're thinking
You reckon I'm giving permission
For you to keep worshipping
All that aggression
But is it your own script you're reading from?
Or garbled quotes from Tyler Durden?
So long we attributed greatness to us only
As if confidence and perseverance were somehow our territory
It's not a zero sum game
You don't lose from a woman's gain
She's merely casting off her chains
Now why can't we just do the same?
Man down
Before we get another
Man down
Let's hear it for our brothers
Man down
There's no need to keep it all inside
Man down
Don't you live by their command now
And be another cardboard cut out
There are so many ways that you could shine
And yet still we don't confide
Like a king must never cry
When you reject that heavy crown
It can never bring you down
No wonder so many of us are struggling
There were so few spaces we could be vulnerable in
So much of our humanity has been stripped away
The only emotion we have left is rage
Surely we deserve something better
Rather than retreating as scared shallow projector
If you don't know what it really means to be a man anymore
Take a look around, you've got more options than ever before
I know that you can
Find the will to explore
The person that was frightened out of you at age four
Never let someone else set the bar
You're a man because you say you are
Man down
Before we get another
Man down
Let's hear it for our brothers
Man down
There's no need to keep it all inside
Man down
Don't you live by their command now
And be another cardboard cut out
There are so many ways that you could shine

We are made, we're not born
How could you say this is freedom?
