Be A Man (Edit) Lyrics by Hole

Be A Man - Single

2000

[Verse 1]
The only boy I understand
The one ashamed to be a man
Just rape the world because you can
That's what it takes to be a man
Well, knock her up, just slap her hand
Prove it to me, just be a man
I think I can, I think I can
I'm big enough to be a man
Tell you the truth, I'm jealous, yeah
Give anything to be a man

[Chorus]
Be a man
So impotent
Be a man
Oh

[Verse 2]
Take off your dress, your master plan
Give anything, just be a man
Oh, cut it off, of course you can
Got what it takes to be a man
Go rape us all, just cause you can
Well give it up, just be a man
The f-ing wars, the carnage, yeah
Give anything to be a man
Cut it off, I know you can
'Cause no one cares if you're a man

[Chorus]
Be a man
So impotent
Be a man
Oh

[Verse 3]
Can't get it up?
I understand
Under the gun to be a man
I think I can, I think I can
I'm big enough to be a man

[Verse 4]
Go f- the world because I can
I'm everything, oh, be a man
Go f- the world because you can
Give anything

[Chorus]
Be a man
I'm potent, yeah
Be a man
I'm potent, yeah
Be a man
I'm potent, yeah
I'm potent, yeah
