Lyrics
Mindless Tough Guy Act
(G. Hannah)
New Dark Age Parade, 2006
You walk with a macho swagger, your scorn is like a hidden dagger
You gather lots of little yes men, you work hard to impress them
Chest and chin always sticking out, you never show any fucking doubt
But deep inside your guts you often fret, someone’s gonna learn your secret
Some day, some month, some luckless year
You’ll have no choice but to face the fact
That each and every day you live in fear
Behind your mindless tough guy act
There’s lots of people all around you, but not a soul you can talk to
You live inside a heavy silence, a lonely tomb, a nervous violence
It’s hard work to be fake, sometimes you’d like to lose the weight
But if you live a lie long enough, to face the awful truth gets pretty tough
Some day, some month, some luckless year
You’ll have no choice but to face the fact
That each and every day you live in fear
Behind your mindless tough guy act
Some day, some year
You’ll have no choice but to face the fact
You live in fear
Behind your mindless tough guy act
