Refusing To Be A Man

C              G                         F                           G
I’m not gonna try and tell you that I’m different from all the rest.
C              G                         F                           G
I’ve been subject to the same de-structure of desire, felt the same effects.
C              G          F            G
I’m a hetero-sexist tragedy.
C              G            F       G
And potential rapists all are we. Yeah.
C                                          Am  G  F
But don’t tell me this is natural, this is nurturing.
C                                          Am  G  F
That there’s a difference between sexism and sexuality.
C                                          Am  G  F
I had different desires prior to my role remodelling.

And at six years of age, you don’t challenge their claims, you become the same.
                      G
Or withdraw from the game and hang your head in shame.
F               G             Am
I think that’s exactly what I did.
                G             F
I tried to sever the connections.
Am   G   F                F  G            F
               Between me       and them.

C                                                                Am  G  F
I fought against their further attempts to convince a kid that birthright can bestow.
C                                           Am  G  F
The power to yield the subordination of women. And do you know…
C                                                Am  G  F
What patricentricity means? I found out just a couple of days ago.
C                                Am  G  F
It means male values über alles and whaddya know!

F                        G                                       Am  G  F
Sex has been distorted, vilified. I’m scared of my attraction to body types.
F                         G                        Am        G            F
If everything desired is objectified, then maybe eroticism needs to be redefined.
                    C
And I refuse to be a man.
