Are You a Man?
Love's Labour's Lost
consider what you first did swear unto too fast to study and to see no women
but here's the trick, it's flat trees against a kingly state of youth
your stomachs are too young to fast and abstinence will make you sick
we made a vow to study lords
and in that vow we have forsworn our looks, we've lost the war
for when would you, or you or you have found such words in books
as words you've sang before for love
what is a vow except to be broken
what is an oath except to be unspoken
what is contract but a meaningless token
are you a man or just a plan your parents made
are you a man or just a flannel suit waiting to get paid
are you a man or just some bran flakes and another inside trade
love courses swift as thoughts
every hour
and gives you every power
a novel power
of lovers i will gaze
a lover's ear will
hear the lowest sound
are you man or just a xanax and a bleeding ulcer
are you a man or just a fantasy football girl repulser
are you a man and can you learn to see that
women are the arts the books the academies
that teach and show and nourish all the world and fools you were
these to forswear or keeping
what is swarn you will prove fools
for wisdom's sake a word that all men love
for love's sake a word that loves all men
or for mens sake the authors of these women
or for woman's sake for who were men or man
are you a man or just a can of old ideas and words
are you a man or just a channel playing revenge of the nerds
are you a man or just an nba candidate who fell on the heard
shall we resolve to woo these girls?
and win them too?
let us do as brave armado would
we’ll devise some european entertainment to make them ours
love is learning
and the heart and brain are won
love is learning
and before this night is done
away
away by dawn
there's some strange performance solace them
with music
dance
disguises
and many hours
following fair love
strewing her with flowers
(spanish part, i don't know what to write)
armado, conduct the women for a show
but do stay for one more chorus
let's lose our oaths to find ourselves
not lose ourselves to keep our oaths to
learn to love our ladies then
our learning will surely make us men
(repeat all choruses at the same time)
let's lose our oaths to find ourselves
not lose ourselves to keep our oaths to
learn to love our ladies then
our learning will surely make us men
