The Protomen - Beards Going Nowhere lyrics

rate me

In this city you hold on as tightly as you can

You don't take anything for truth

It's like walking on a razor's edge

and everything around is crumbling girl

you only have to look around for proof

When I was a young boy things were different

a man was allowed to be a man

I grew up too fast like I was racing with the devil

I've felt the blade so many times

Emily Girl won't you take my hand

and we'll ride

Across the barren face of this desert road

Baby you set my wheels on fire

I'll rev my engine till the sound is just deafening

Emily baby I promise you

We'll make it out of this wasteland

I know you worry the way thing will turn out

it seems this city doesn't love the man with a beard

they say a man has to give up the very thing he loves here

But I will not live like that

i will not live in fear.

I will not let them take it from me no matter how hard they'll try

Most men, when they have a knife to their chin

they find they'd rather give up than die

So many faces bare

So many faces so cold

just hold on to me

We can weather the night behind my whiskers girl

we can get out of town before we both get too old

and we'll ride

and when the engine gives out we won't worry

we know how we'll get by

We'll catch the wind with the hairs on my chin

and then baby we'll take to the sky

we'll say hello to the angels in heaven (sup girl)

and then we'll pass heaven by

we've got better things to do with our time

then shave our faces and die

Don't give up

Don't give in

Without a beard you know you'll never win

But girl Its time for me to go

Where only a man can go

My heart is on fire and if I don't feed it fast

it'll just burn up and fade

I love you girl you've got to know that

You'll be so proud of me

You'll watch me hop on my pegasus, girl

10000 angels singing for me

as I ride my pegasus through the city

to the edge of the city

and then out of the city and into the fields

Fields thick and strong like the beard that I'll grow

you'll watch as I ride through the night

You'll see, I'll set the night on fire with

my burning heart and my glorious man beard

And everyone will love me and I'll be a man

I'll finally be a man.
