Man Made - Dennis "Furious" George

lyrics

We are man
made out of
stick and stone
lego block and
G.I Joe Daddy
loved us
winter cold
beat us 'till
the blisters
showed. Taught us
how to
hide it though. Sissies
let there feelings
show.

Get us
high off his
ego. Crying
make us
unequal. Raise us
violent like
pitbull. Silence
by the
golden rule.

Never ever
trust a soul. Like
the mouth
the mind
is closed.

Let the systems
pick our clothes. Baggy
jeans and plain
polos. Color
scheme is for
homos and
you ain't mad if
you ain't
no. Man

made out of
brick and scabs.
Trade in brain for
muscle mass. Worthless
lets me shuffle pass.

Supervisors serve us
wrath. No we
don't deserve it. Toss
the boss a nervous
laugh.

Bite the lip to
be a man. Graduate to
working class.

Do the best we
can to pull the future
from the past.

Finds a wife that
understands. Type of
life that we
demand.

When she starts to
loath it. Serve her
notice with an
open hand. Harmless
little reprimand.

Fells the ship
in our command. Child
lock her hip and
treat her heart like its
a garbage
can. Man

made. Out of
pride and blame. We
resemble daddy's
pain. We

assemble
all the same
frame, a penis and
a name Dough
becomes our crack,
our cain. Stack it to
distract the shame. Slaving
for a freedom. Chasing
kingdoms that have
never came. Standards
have been raised
again. Scramble
to upgrade
again. Praying
that our children
grow into a breed
of braver men. Day
too late to savor
them. Love we
daned has
angered
them.

Tomorrow turns
the tables
as the cradle
slow
ly
la
bels
them
be
man made out of train and truck.
paper plane and hockey puck.

Competition drive him drunk. Core

religion: Praise the buck. Work
until the callous
bust. Slowly stained in
arrogance. Craving to
obtain a name
but it is our
inheritance.

When we know our knowledges
we are sociologists. Tally
up our worth is not
the credit from our
colleges.

But

this truth escapes
from us as
the man keeps
raping us. Killing
us with plastic
life. Breaking while man
making us.
