Real Men

Lyrics

Take your mind back, I don't know when
 Sometime when it always seemed to be just us and them
 Girls that wore pink and boys that wore blue
 Boys that always grew up better men than me and you
 
 What's a man now?
 What's a man mean?
 Is he rough or is he rugged?
 Is he cultural and clean?
 Now it's all change, it's got to change more
 'Cause we think it's getting better
 But nobody's really sure
 And so it goes, go round again
 But now and then we wonder who the real men are
 Wo-ooh-oh-oh
 Wo-ooh-oh-oh
 Ah, ah, ah, ah
 See the nice boys, dancing in pairs
 Golden earring, golden tan
 Blow wave in their hair
 Sure, they're all straight, straight as a line
 All the gays are macho
 Can't you see the leather shine?
 You don't want to sound dumb, don't want to offend
 So don't call me a faggot
 Not unless you are a friend
 Then if you're tall and handsome and strong
 You can wear the uniform and I could play along
 And so it goes, go round again
 But now and then we wonder who the real men are
 Wo-ooh-oh-oh
 Wo-ooh-oh-oh
 Ah, ah, ah, ah
 ♪
 Time to get scared, time to change plan
 Don't know how to treat a lady
 Don't know how to be a man
 Time to admit, what you call defeat
 'Cause there's women running past you now
 And you just drag your feet
 Man makes a gun, man goes to war
 Man can kill and man can drink
 And man can take a whore
 Kill all the blacks, kill all the reds
 And if there's war between the sexes
 Then there'll be no people left
 And so it goes, go round again
 But now and then we wonder who the real men are
 Wo-ooh-oh-oh
 Wo-ooh-oh-oh
 Ah, ah, ah, ah
