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, 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, cultural and clean?
 Now it's all changed, it's got to change more
 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
 ♪
 Mhm, mhm
 Mhm, mhm
 Oh, ohh
 ♪
 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 guys are macho, see the leather shine
 ♪
 You don't wanna 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, 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
 ♪
 Mhm, mhm
 Mhm, mhm
 Oh, ohh
 ♪
 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 runnin' 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
 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
 And so it goes, go 'round again
 But now and then we wonder who the real men are
 And so it goes, go 'round again
 But now and then we wonder who the real men are
