Life in the Manscape Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fun in the manscape
It's coming apart
The soul is for hire
And they've sold the heart
Operate the radar
Hit the switches
Try to find a way to live
Please by the brochure

[Chorus]
Free speech and more TV
A true facsimile

[Verse 2]
Life in the manscape
It's part of the deal
The pope of pop
Drives a church of steel
Deep pile acquaintances
Hollow after dinner
Accommodate inflation
Nervous fingers on the trigger

[Chorus]
Free speech and more TV
Distribute liberally
Free speech and more TV
A true facsimile
[Bridge]
Distribute liberally
Sounds expensive to me
Sounds expensive to me

[Chorus]
Free speech and more TV
Distribute liberally
Free speech and more TV
A true facsimile

[Verse 3]
Love in the manscape
Guaranteed real
You feel what you pay for
And you pay what you feel
Unfamiliar letters
Anagram situations
Silence please!
Poets at work

[Chorus]
Free speech and more TV
Distribute liberally
Free speech and more TV
A true facsimile
Free speech and more TV
Distribute liberally
Free speech and more TV
A true facsimile

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
