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 man You gotta take it like a man
