PROPAGANDHI
"Refusing To Be A Man"

I'm not gonna try and tell you that I'm different from all the rest
I've been subject to the same destructure of desire, felt the same effects
I'm a hetero-sexist tragedy
And potential rapists all are we

But don't tell me this is natural, this is nurturing
There's a difference between sexism and sexuality
I had different desires prior to my role-remodeling
And at six years of age, you don't challenge their claims, you become the same

Or withdraw from the game
And hang your head in shame
I think that's exactly what I did, tried to sever connections
Between me and them

I fought against their further attempts to convince a kid that birthright can bestow
The power to wield the subordination of women and do you know
What patricentricity means? I found out just a couple days ago
It means male values uber alles, and what do you know?

Sex has been distorted and vilified
I'm scared of my attraction to body types
If everything desired is objectified
Maybe eroticism needs to be redefined

And I refuse to be a man
