Man - Neko Case

I m a man

That s what you raised me to be

I m not an identity crisis,

This was planned

I m a man

As in a citizen of mankind

It s what kind of animal I am,

It s that simple.

I m a man

And not just casually

I pull this barge full time

Your treehouse will not support me

I m not the runt of the litter

Fat-fingered bullies were no match for me

I still taste them in my teeth,

I m a man.

I m a man s man

I ve always been

But make no mistake what I ve invested in;

A woman s heart is the watermark

By which I measure everything

I m a man

That s what you raised me to be

I m not your identity crisis,

This was planned

I m a man

You ll have to deal with me

My proxy is mine,

You ll deal with me directly

And if I m dipshit-drunk on pink perfume,

Then I m the man in the fucking moon

Cause you didn t know what a man was

Until I showed you.
