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 is he cultural and clean
Now it's all changed
It's got to change more
'Cause we think it's getting better but nobody's really sure

Chorus
And so it goes
Go round again
And now and then we wonder
Who the real men are
Oh oh

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 their 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 could wear the uniform and I could play along

Chorus
And so it goes
Go round again
but now and then we wonder
Who the real men are
Oh oh

Time to get scared
Time to change plans
Don't know how to treat a lady don't know how to be a man
Try to admit
What you call defeat
'Cause there's women running past you now and you just drag your feet

Chorus
And so it goes
Go round again
But now and then we wonder
Who the real man are 
oh oh
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
But if there's war between the sexes then there'll be no people left
