Be a Man
Bitch Brigade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know where to start
People want to believe in anything, anyone
You're just another write off
Who doesn't know where to turn
But anyone will tell you
That in time you'll learn
Make you get down on your knees and pray
They'll make you read the same magazines
That everyone else is reading
They take your soul away
Make you get down on your knees and pray
They'll make you so afraid
You're going to believe
With everything falling down
It's a wonder we're not insane
Tomorrow's a frightful thought
For the best of the best of us
If you're going to play the game
This life will make you a man
But I'd rather not stand up
Just to be told to sit back down again
They take your soul away
Make you get down on your knees and pray
They'll make you read the same magazines
That everyone else is reading
They take your soul away
Make you get down on your knees and pray
They'll make you so afraid
You're going to believe
They take your soul away
Make you get down on your knees and pray
They'll make you read the same magazines
That everyone else is reading
They take your soul away
Make you get down on your knees and pray
They'll make you so afraid
You're going to believe

The song "Be a Man" by Bitch Brigade delves into the idea of the manipulation of individuals by society, and how people are forced to conform to certain standards being set by the same society. The lyrics suggest that most things in this world are misleading, and people often have no clue where to begin. People tend to believe in anything and everything that is fed to them by others, leading to an overall lack of self-awareness.
The verses criticize how society takes away people's individuality and manipulates them into following the same path as everyone else. It highlights that society makes people read the same magazines, think the same thoughts, and believe the same things, ultimately taking away their souls and making them blindly follow the masses. The song's overall message is that although life is a game that makes a person a man, it's not worth standing up if someone has to be told to sit back down because they're not allowed to be different.
The song takes a stand against conformity and encourages individuals to be true to themselves, emphasizing that they need to break free from society's hold on their lives. It urges people to think for themselves and not fall prey to society's manipulations.
