You fake it, and you take it in, but it's all wrong The man they want you to be, red-blooded and strong Bottle it up, don't fuck it up, toughen up now Consent them and resent them, they must be so proud I wonder I wonder We're taking the heat cause we gotta We're bastards A shattered mirror image of our fathers So why bother We're idolized, objectified like caged animals Growl at the man, howl at the moon, pray to angels No self-respect and I am left second-guessing There's not a whole lot in this life worth possessing
