Keepers of the Man Cave
Keepers of the "Man Cave"
A revelation dawned today
I've seen the refuge built
Where the boy in a man be saved
Sandbox space with trucks arrayed
Standing guard your sacred forts
Battles wars and raids dissuade
Your hearts from changing their course
Keepers of the "Man Cave"
Protectors of cyber space
Guarding testosterone sanctuaries
This teenage "sacred place"
Slaying your dragons on congenial battleground
Plastic guns hunt the miles cross hemispheres
Where the sound of "what the hell" resound
Joyfully filling the hours of your years
Keepers of the "Man Cave"
Fantasy football and Game Day paraphernalia
Seduction and booze hanging on your walls
Left women thinking it was life dysplasia
When in truth it's not that at all
The weight you carry O'the strain of man
Under constant burdens fearful you'll f

When In the joy of being boys you could stand
Keepers of the "Man Cave"
Filled with reminders to be young
Hotties looking desirously toward you
Your reprieve from things still undone
Some of us know and even understand
Your right to the "Man Cave" anomaly
And the necessity for which it stands
The place to bear up under all life demands
Keepers of the "Man Cave"
Your work it never ends
And on YOU your family relies
Your eyes and shoulders shrouded in strength
But it's a long row to hoe for you guys
So when the weary comes to patronize
Let the boy in you have his day
It's a right of passage signified
A man can stand if he's given to play
Keepers of the "Man Cave"
Keep guard against perilous fight
For that boy in you keeps our man tender
And in your arms all our world is right
