lyrics

i've watched my grandfather cry
i spoke at his funeral
had plenty of friends suicide
melancholy is not unusual

but none of it brings me to tears
maybe i am immune
maybe there's something wrong with me
maybe i'm just being rude

i want to cry
i don't know how
my father never taught me
but i can drink a beer
throw a punch
grit my teeth
and kick a footy

i once got dumped on my birthday
i watch the news every night
i've been angry
i've been anxious
and i've been in pain
i've said a lot of goodbyes

but none of it brings me to tears
maybe i am immune
maybe there's something wrong with me
maybe i'm just being rude

i want to cry
but i don't know how
my father never taught me
but i can drink a beer
throw a punch
grit my teeth
and kick a footy

i can drive a manual
and i can grow a moustache
i can change a tyre
i've been in plenty of scraps
i can lift heavy stuff
i can ride a bike
i can chop onions
i only cut my face shaving sometimes

and i can tie a tie
and i can tie a tie
i just can't fucking cry
i just can't fucking cry

i want to cry
but i don't know how
my father never taught me
but i can drink a beer
throw a punch
grit my teeth
and kick a footy

i want to cry
but i don't know how
my father never taught me
but i can drink a beer
throw a punch
grit my teeth
and kick a footy
