i'm shocked no one has commented about this song. i personally love it. i used it in an english essay explaining the stereotypes men have to live up to. i wish they'd play it live but i'm sure it would make non-Zebrahead fans scared to death to see Ali screaming I'm a man over and over.
yeah this song is amazing,i used to think it was about how this guy was gay and couldn't take it so he went around queer bashing so i was nearly there i guess:),but yeah it is a totally powerful song. zebrahead rule
infact yeah sorry yeah i was right the first time
I think wise said it all. this song rocks especially the guitars after the very start
God this song is amazing. All the angry lyrics pent up until Ali screams I'm a man.
I think the song is about, how Ali/ Or someone hates gays, "Shove instead of a kiss" I think means He will punch the guy instead of kissing him, "So I never had a fuckin education Sell a little drugs, to battle inflation Sleep with a girl that I sometimes pay Fuck it, better than bein fuckin gay anyways" Means he would rather do that stuff than be gay.
"Why's this motherfucker lookin' at me - Why is the gay guy looking? Does he like him? Is there something more that he wants to see - maybe he loves him I've got a gun and the muthafucka's loaded - warning if he likes him DEAD One more punk and you're dead and bloated, because All this shit, you disgust me - Homosexuals make him sick Can I hate you, cause you're not like me" - he is not straight
Glare instead of a wink - The guy won't wink at him, glaring at him cuz he is gay Listen to me, boy don't fuckin think! - Listen homo, I'm straight And hate him because he's gay cause he doesn't live our fuckin way - He is not straight, so he is unnormal
I'm a man I'm a man I'm a man I'm a man Man I'm a man - Can't you see I'm a guy homo??
