Lyrics

The creators of man

The originators of mankind

Were calm, kind and nice

Were calm, kind, and pleasant

But nature demands

However, nature requires

That we fuck, eat and fight

Engaging in sexual activities, consuming food, and participating in conflicts


If you're not macho

If you lack traditional masculinity

Then try to be funny

Then strive to be humorous

If you can't fuck or fight

If you cannot engage in sex or combat

Then I hope that you're hungry

Then it's preferable that you're hungry


Do you feel like a man

Questioning one's sense of manhood

'Cause you got blood on your hands?

Due to being involved in violent actions

If we're living in a man's world

If society is dominated by men

I'm a girl

Asserting identity as a girl

I'm a girl

Reiteration of identifying as a girl

I'm a girl

Further reinforcement of identifying as a girl


When I was in Digbeth

Reflecting on a past experience in Digbeth

I felt so alone

Feeling isolated and lonely

I'm sure that violence was born in my bones

Suspecting that a propensity for violence is inherent

I'm not loud or scary

Not exhibiting traits of being loud or intimidating

No red-blooded Ares

Not possessing the aggression of the god Ares

Put a snake round my neck

Rejecting the symbol of a snake around the neck

'Cause I'm not gonna wear it

Refusing to conform to societal expectations


Do you feel like a man

Reiteration of questioning one's manhood

'Cause you got blood on your hands?

Attributing guilt for violent actions

If we're living in a man's world

If society is dominated by men

I'm a girl

Asserting identity as a girl

I'm a girl

Reiteration of identifying as a girl

I'm a girl

Further reinforcement of identifying as a girl


Do you feel like a man

Repetition of questioning one's manhood

'Cause you got blood on your hands?

Reiterating guilt for violent actions

If we're living in a man's world

If society is dominated by men

I'm a girl

Asserting identity as a girl

I'm a girl

Reiteration of identifying as a girl

I'm a girl

Further reinforcement of identifying as a girl


I don't feel like a man

Denial of feeling like a man

I don't feel like a man

Continued denial of feeling like a man
