A cover of my favorite super-obscure Protomen song. I couldn't find chords or sheet music anywhere online, so I had to play the entire thing by ear, but I think I more or less got it all.

lyrics

In this city you hold on as tightly as you can
And don't take anything for truth
It's like walking on the razor's edge
Everything around you is just crumbling, girl
You only have to look around for proof

When I was young, things were different
And a man was allowed to be a man
But I grew up too fast, like I was racing with the devil
I felt the blade so many times
Oh girl, won't you take my hand?

And we'll ride
Across the barren face of this desert road
You set my wheels on fire
I'll rev the engine til the sound is just deafening
Oh girl, I swear we'll make it out of this wasteland

And you worry the way that things are gonna turn out
It seems this city doesn't love a man with a beard
They say a man has to give up the very thing he loves here
But I will not live like this
No I will not live in fear

I won't let them take it from me, no matter how hard they try
Most men, when they have a knife to their chin
They'd rather give up than die
So many faces bare, so many faces cold
Just hold onto me, we can weather the night behind my whiskers girl
We can get out of this town before we both get too old

And we'll ride
If the engine gives out we won't worry
You know I will get by
We'll catch the wind on the hairs of my chin
And then we'll take to the sky
We'll say hello to the angels in heaven
And then we'll pass heaven by
We got better things to do with our lives
Than shave our faces and die

Don't give up, don't give in, without a beard you will never win
Don't give up, don't give in, without a beard you will never win
Don't give up, don't give in, without a beard you will never win
Don't give up, baby don't give in

Girl, it's time for me to go
Where only a man can go
My heart is on fire and if I don't feed it fast it'll just burn up and fade
I love you girl, you gotta know that
You'll be so proud of me
10,000 angels will sing for me as I ride my pegasus through the city
To the edge of the city and then out of the city and into the fields
Fields thick and strong like the beard that I'll grow
You'll watch as I ride into the night
You'll see I'll set the night on fire with my burning heart and my Glorious man beard
And everyone will love me
And I'll finally be a man
I'll finally be a man
