  • You said I was free to do what I wanted
    I believed you, I received you, I did
    You stood above me watchin' my words then cut them down
    No one noticed, no one protests, silent menace

    Take your hands from my shoulders and let me stand
    I've been tryin' my hardest to be a man

    Your focused fingers form a force to reckon with
    They point with power and command callousness
    Your eyes can switch with every glance
    And when they catch me there's no chance
    Medusa, Medusa

    Take your hands from my shoulders and let me stand
    I've been tryin' my hardest to be a man
    Take your hands off my shoulders and let me stand
    I've been tryin' my hardest to be a man

    I'm a liar, a bully, a coward, a thief
    I'm a liar, a bully, a coward, a thief

    My skin is crawlin', my confidence fallin'
    My skin is crawlin', my confidence fallin'
    My skin is crawlin', my confidence fallin'
    My skin is crawlin', my confidence

    Take your hands from my shoulders and let me stand
    I've been tryin' my hardest to be a man
    Take your hands off my shoulders and let me stand
    I've been tryin' my hardest to be a man Writer/s: JACK PENATE, PAUL EPWORTH
