Real Men Don't Cry (War on Pride)

There was a time when we bit our lip and we told a lie

And we never let our feelings ruin a face so fine

And sometime in the 80s Bob cried and we forgave him

And since then we've been battling that life

So I declare a war on pride

Not the decent sort, but the kind

The kind that says real men don't cry

Real men don't cry

Oh, I declare a war on pride

It stopped mothers from saying, "Help me"

And kids for saying, "Tell me"

And brothers from telling their papas how they feel

We only talk about the seasons

And our neighbours within reason

And we never ask them exactly how they feel

So I declare a war on pride

Not the decent sort, but the kind

The kind that says real men don't cry

Real men don't cry

Oh, I declare a war on pride

'Cause it's not brave and it's not holy

It just breaks hearts and leaves you lonely

And leaves room for you only left to lie

'Cause it's not brave and it's not holy

It just breaks hearts and leaves you lonely

So I'm gonna break you down

Until you let some of that love out

So I declare a war on pride

Not the decent sort, but the kind

The kind that says real men don't cry

Real men don't cry

Oh, I declare a war on pride
