Man Up Man by The NonStick Pans Lyrics

When you're a boy you're the king of the world
But you can't jump for joy with your fingers unfurled (oh boy!)
Tighten your hand so they all understand

Form a fist on your wrist so they know you're a man

I remember tears of gladness, overflowing music fills your heart
Don't delay, you replace it with rage and say;

Man up, man up, man!

Tell me your reasons, it sure has been a while
Were all of your feelings concealed behind a smile?
Your face has grown older you take it in your stride
The world has simply shaped you and the gentle child has died
Are you satisfied?

When you're a man you can't count on your hand
All the women you've used you're just a boy if you can (oh man!)
You won't be raking in cash if you're not acting brash
You're a man not a boy sort the wheat from the chaff
Try to discount your feelings, hold them in don't let them out
Don't you delay, replace them with rage and say;

Man up, man up, man!

(Can you see me I'm withstanding)
Tell me your reasons, it sure has been a while
Were all of your feelings concealed behind a smile?
(Social means are so demanding)
Your face has grown older you take it in your stride
The world has simply shaped you and the gentle child has died
Are you satisfied?

And we're so scared of growing old, or old before our time
And yet we trade our childhood for the front line

(Can you see me I'm withstanding)
Tell me your reasons, it sure has been a while
Were all of your feelings concealed behind a smile?
(Social means are so demanding)
Your face has grown older you take it in your stride
The world has simply shaped you and the gentle child has died
Are you satisfied?

Ahh
Man up, man up, man up, man
Man up, man up, man up, man up, man up, man
Man up, man up, man up
Man up, man up, man
Man up, man up, man up, man up, man up, man
Man up, man up, man up
Man up, man up, man
Man up, man up, man up, man up, man up, man
Man up, man up, man up
Man up, man up, man
