apologetix - you call a man (parody of 1978 “blue collar man” by styx) lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
(“boom!”)

[verse 1]
give me a john 15 maturity
to be a branch in your vine
i just abhor so many of the ploys men try
my god, you’re harshly maligned

[verse 2]
o heavenly father, my life’s on the fringe
you see them laugh at my faith
but i’ve got the power to light up the world
i’ve gotta share it with grace

[chorus 1]
i’ll face those
long knives
and talk about god
speakin’ ‘bout christ to the people
i just may
fall flat
do the best that i can
but i wanna be what you call a man

[verse 3]
make me an author who writes candid views
i’ll be a spectacle, then
i’ve seen them gaslight everyone before with lies
but like it or not
[chorus 2]
i’ll face those
long knives
irascible frauds
speakin’ my mind to the world
and if they
all bite
i’ve expressed what i am
well, i wanna be what you call a man

[bridge]
keepin’ my mind on the bread of life
when, after this, i know they may haul me away
erudite critics, they all try hurting us
they close their eyes
but maybe they’re all really scared

[instrumental break feat. electric guitar]

oo, oo, oo, oo; who dares?

[chorus 3]
i’ll face those
long knives
it costs a whole lot
speakin’ the facts to the false
all that
to say this while i can
well, i wanna be what you call a man
[post+chorus]
dih, dih+dih, dih, dih, dih, dih+dih
(they don’t understand)
dih, dih+dih, dih, dih, dih, dih+dih
dih, dih+dih, dih, dih, dih, dih+dih
dih, dih+dih, dih, dih, dih, dih+dih

[chorus 4]
i’ll face those
long knives
imposters, o god
people that like doin’ evil
and if they
fall back
or reject who i am
well, i’m gonna be with you, father
god, you see my true colors
god, you lead when you call a man

[outro]
(“all right!”)

(“believe it!”)
