Macho Lyrics by McGovern

2022

[Intro]

McGovern and Neu Loops
Let's go

[Chorus]
I've spent a lot of time getting told to be a man
But I'm providing for myself and my people when I can
Every inch of contradiction
From my heels up to my hands
Yellow painted nails and a red striped can

I've spent a lot of time getting told to be a man
But I'm providing for myself and my people when I can
Every inch of contradiction
From my heels up to my hands
Yellow painted nails round a red striped can

Obsession with possession always searching for the finery
I used to run to corner shop and now I hit the winery
I'm trying to stay educated, motivated's all that I can be
And sad to see the sapien concession to the binary

Will it fade in time, I hope so
'Cos the system we live in is so broke
No joke, broke my back on the way up the mountain
But when I get there, hit the bar, man, I'll get the rounds in

Look, and you can paint me soft like a baby's bot
Maybe not as brave as what I may have got if days were swapped
But I replay the days I've gotten grazed and wiped the flayed bits off

Soft in the soul? I think not, my very brain's a rock
So it takes a lot to rock me
I forgot me for a minute cos I rocks me more than boxer's teeth
But exterior forces are poor test or core born in fire, scorn, born form pure stress I jest
My resolve still gets shaken
I'm taking days away to break foundations down, I laid them sound
I keep peace in streets with fleets, but the battleground's a brain and still the belly of the beast

Sheesh
Man, it all got a bit dark
Sometimes than can happen when the devil meets the heart
When our mortal parts pass and thought is all we are
Perhaps playing hard will simply fall to the past

[Chorus]
I've spent a lot of time getting told to be a man
But I'm providing for myself and my people when I can
Every inch of contradiction
From my heels up to my hands
Yellow painted nails and a red striped can

I've spent a lot of time getting told to be a man
But I'm providing for myself and my people when I can
Every inch of contradiction
From my heels up to my hands
Yellow painted nails and a red striped can

[Outro]

A red striped can
