Prowess lyrics
by Frank Turner
Could you forgive me for my lack of majesty?
I cannot add airs to anything I do
I'm sorry I won't lie, sorry I won't stake my pride, not pride in my manhood - valuing achievements good
If I dull expectation, sorry for due frustration
I don't need pretence to be my best, I don't need it to be honest
I have no need to prove what I already know to someone I don't care for. I'll be whatever I am, stay true to what's inside, won't pander to opinion
Is this how far we've come? we stand so f*cking proud of the world we have fostered, loveless
Every day concerned with perceptions and opinions on the strength of prowess
Is it so f*cking strange that i refuse to change to suit your narrow scope?
I'll be whatever I am, and if that's nothing of a man, you can f*cking cope
