about

‘Men Don’t Cry’ is fundamentally a lie exposed. It rips the clown face off ‘Me & Betty’ and exposes the festering wounds.

lyrics

In the dark, in the dark
Something wriggling through his heart
Tonight, tonight.
There’s a game that he plays
to keep you all so far away
Is it you or a stranger here tonight.

You will act out all your lines
the way you done so many times
The things you said,
the things you said.
In the dark and in the gloom
Shortly he will wreck his room
He will wreck his room
and wreck his head.

And he wonders why
Men don’t cry
If he could cry like you do
He’d be crying too.

But he just sits there in the shade
Ice slides through his heart like a blade like a blade
You have acted out your heart
Like a statue he just played a part
Like a picture hanging on the wall.
But there’s this shadow deep inside goes looking for a place to hide.
And he’s screaming, deep inside.

And he wonders why
Men don’t cry
If he could cry like you do
He’d be crying too.
If he could cry like you do
He’d be crying too.

He will sleep in a while
Ice forms around his smile
Tonight, tonight
In the dark and in the gloom
There’s something nasty wriggling through his room
Tonight…

And he wonders why
Men don’t cry
If he could cry like you do
He’d be crying too.
And he wonders why
Men don’t cry
If he could cry like you do
He’d be crying too.
If he could cry like you do
He’d be crying too…
