What does it mean to be a man anymore?
I come into this world as I am
And I stand on my own two feet to be a man
But nobody wants a real man anymore
Just emasculated he-shes
With no gumption, no girth, no real merriment, and no real joy
Just appeasers and pleasers, vanilla and milque toast
Non-consequential peons
The phrase ladies man has new meaning
As in the blurred gender lines they connote
Not the true man they intend
