The Man di Taylor Swift in radio da venerdì 14 febbraio – Testo

The Man di Taylor Swift sbarcherà in radio da venerdì 14 febbraio. La canzone è un nuovo estratto dall’album Lover ed è una riflessione su come si comporterebbero i mass media se lei fosse una donna. La cantautrice statunitense, del resto, non è nuova a lanciare messaggi ispirati da argomenti delicati come l’amore, l’omosessualità e i diritti delle donne.

Nel testo di The Man di Taylor Swift, infatti, leggiamo una forte protesta contro gli sforzi che una donna deve fare per raggiungere obiettivi che altrimenti sarebbero propri dell’uomo, che comunque riesce a condurre i propri progetti – secondo quanto contesta Taylor Swift – senza affrontare il pregiudizio dei mass media.

Il brano ha un arrangiamento synth pop ed è stato prodotto da Joel Little.

Di seguito il testo di The Man di Taylor Swift.

I would be complex, I would be cool
They’d say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
And that would be okay for me to do
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you

I’d be a fearless leader
I’d be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What’s that like?

I’m so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man
And I’m so sick of them coming at me again
‘Cause if I was a man, then I’d be the man
I’d be the man
I’d be the man

They’d say I hustled, put in the work
They wouldn’t shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve
What I was wearing, if I was rude
Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves

And they would toast to me, oh, let the players play
I’d be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez

I’m so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man
And I’m so sick of them coming at me again
‘Cause if I was a man, then I’d be the man
I’d be the man
I’d be the man

What’s it like to brag about raking in dollars
And getting bit++es and models?
And it’s all good if you’re bad
And it’s okay if you’re mad
If I was out flashing my dollars
I’d be a bi++h, not a baller
They’d paint me out to be bad
So, it’s okay that I’m mad

I’m so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man (You know that)
And I’m so sick of them coming at me again (Coming at me again)
‘Cause if I was a man (If I was a man)
Then I’d be the man (Then I’d be the man)
I’m so sick of running as fast as I can (As fast as I can)
Wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man (Hey)
And I’m so sick of them coming at me again (Coming at me again)
‘Cause if I was a man (If I was a man), then I’d be the man
I’d be the man
I’d be the man (Oh)
I’d be the man (Yeah)
I’d be the man (I’d be the man)

If I was a man, then I’d be the man
