Macho Insecurity lyrics

Name one thing on Earth lower than a tough guy (tough guy)

Who talks with his fists instead of using his head (his head)

Who beats the shit out of anything he can't understand

Behind the muscle mask is a scared little boy

Called macho insecurity

Macho insecurity

Macho insecurity

You can't stand yourself

Got a bitch with me, why don't you say it to my face? (my face)

It's so easy to mouth off to others, where's your proof? (your proof)

Maybe we can talk if you'd just drop your act

Nothing's ever solved by making childish threats

That's macho insecurity

Macho insecurity

Macho insecurity

You can't stand yourself

Why do you want people to be so afraid of you?

Why are you so scared of anything that's different?

No one's ever there when you need friends, you wonder why

It's because you take yourself so seriously

But being such a clown

Gives the rest of us the right to laugh

At your macho insecurity

Macho insecurity

Macho insecurity

You can't stand your...

Macho insecurity

Macho insecurity

Macho insecurity

You can't stand yourself
