When the big picture makes you feel small
And your good friends are good for nothing at all

Don't pretend that it's not your fault
You gotta take it like a man
When you lash out against society
And your cell-mate says, "You belong to me"
Take it like a man
You gotta take it like a man
Take it like a man
And find yourself in penetentiary

When you can't make your prick get hard
Once you realize that you're not in charge
It makes your codpiece feel a little too large
You gotta fake it like a man
Fake it like a man

When your big-ass truck keeps on breaking down
You wanna holler but you can't make a sound
And your big-barreled gun misfires every round
Take it like a manyou gotta take it like a man
