Dead Kennedys - Macho Insecurity lyrics

Name one thing on earth lower than a tough guy

Who talks with his fists instead of using his head

Who beats the shit out of anything it can't understand

Behind the muscle mask is a scared little boy

called Macho insecurity

Macho insecurity

Macho insecurity

'Cause you can't stand

yourself

Got a bitch with me?

Why won't you say it to my face?

It's so easy to mouth off to others

But where's your proof?

Maybe we can talk if you'd just drop your act

Nothing's ever solved by making childish threats

That's Macho Insecurity

Why do you want people to be so afraid of you?

Why are you so scared of anything that's different?

No one's ever there when you need friends

You wonder why:

It's 'cause you take yourself so seriously

But being such a clown

Gives the rest of us the right to laugh

At your Macho Insecurity

'Cause you can't stand yourself
