Hard to Be a Man – deegie

“Ωραία και δυναμικά φωνητικά που ανεβάζουν την αδρεναλίνη και απογειώνουν το κομμάτι ειδικά από το 0:27 που οι τόνοι ανεβαίνουν. Η μελωδία ξεσηκώνει και τον πιο αδιάφορο και μας προσφέρει μοναδικές στιγμές απόλαυσης και διασκέδασης. Ο ξέφρενος ρυθμός γίνεται το τονωτικό μας και μας δίνει φτερά για να πετάξουμε ψηλά.”

Lyrics of deegie – Hard to Be a Man

Verse 1
How do you know how to win in life?
Your role models are only all the rich and powerful types
But all these women, gays, and immigrants
Are squeezing your divine right
To the head of the table

Pre
I’m sure it’s aggravating
For your one emotion to be raging

Chorus
They’re coming for your crown, son
I don’t know how you cope
If you’re not on top of the mountain
Everyone thinks you’re a joke
You must be feeling bitter
Cause nobody understands
But I know, I know
It’s hard to be a man

Verse 2
Does it leave you wanting to lash out?
Now that boys can’t be boys
And it’s a hate crime to horse around
All these woke liberal snowflakes
Keep pushing you to stand your ground
And your head is exploding

Pre
I’m sure you get exhausted
Always explaining that it’s not all men

Chorus

Post
It’s so hard

Bridge
I’ll bring your slippers and your pipe
Bb
As you settle for the night
I’ll feed the kids and do the dishes, wind the clock
Back a century
So don’t you worry about a thing, king

Chorus
Post

Additional information/sources for deegie – Hard to Be a Man

The first song off of deegie’s second EP, Feminism 101, that documents women’s experiences in a man’s world, recognizes that men have their challenges, too.
Except their challenges are how to maintain their slipping dominance in an arbitrary but crumbling patriarchal system and not being capable of expressing their big feelings about it.
