Real Men Wear Eyeliner by Melinda Deathgoth

Real men wear eyeliner!
Yeah,
You heard what I said,
Muscle-bound neanderthals might float your boat,
But I prefer an androgynous grunge-boat instead,
'Cause they're in touch with their female energy,
They strum you riffs on their guitars,
They don't fuck you like a rabid dog up against the wall of a seven eleven,
After five drunken attempts to remove your bra!

Real men wear eyeliner,
And keep their supple lips glossed and skin moisturised,
They don't flash you jock-jawed smiles to keep your deluded hopes up,
As they spout out layer upon layer of BULLSHIT LIES!
'Cause real sensitive men will get on their knees and beg forgiveness,
Before theyíre even aware of their crime,
'Cause you are their goddess in human form,
And should be worshipped accordingly,
You're what makes the futile days and the suicidal nights fine.

'Cause real men wear eyeliner,
And wear their hearts on their sleeve,
They have the same mental issues as you,
Creating an essential dual dependency,
So they'll NEVER LEAVE!

Real men share your wardrobe,
Real men let you brush their hair,
They don't finger you at the dark end of the gym against your better judgment when your supposed to be in Geometry,
Then tell the rest of the school your frigid just 'cause you didnít SPREAD YOUR LEGS AND PLAY FAIR!

Real men wear eyeliner!
So when they cry you feel you have the power,
'Cause they looked just like you did,
When you cried in the toilets after a merciless verbal attack on your prudishness,
Repeating the phrase; "They'll all pay!" hour after hour after hour.
Until you grew a back bone and became an ice queen who instilled fear in the heart of every jock!
Real men wear eyeliner,
And know you're good for much more than parading their soccer jackets around on your anorexic frame,
And sucking cock!

Real men wear eyeliner,
Which they let you apply,
And so what if some of them prefer other guys who wear eyeliner,
Just pretend you didn't see that kiss by the bike shed,
And never ask why,
'Cause nobody wants to die alone!
