It Can't Get You Everything

Intimidate me, irritate me, do what you will
to get under my skin.
Maybe then, maybe you will feel like you’ve got some control.
'Cause you know that to feel like a man
you’ve got to have it in your hands.
I’m not what you wanted
you wanted me to be apologetic;
but I’m phonetic.
Maybe once, maybe I was a scapegoat for the culture
I talk the same as you; I walk the same paths and the same tunes.
It’s not about the upper hand,
I’ve tried my whole life to «be a man».
But what does that mean?
It’s just words and if life is cursed
I’ll take the hardest way out
the longest way home
I’d rather spend days on a path I don’t know, I don’t know.
I used to be mad, now I’m mostly thinking.
I used to throw fits, now I’ve learned how to reason.
Talking over me won’t get you anywhere;
you’re running into walls just because you’re scared.
