Real Men

[Verse 1]

What's a man now?

What's a man mean?

Is he rough or is he rugged?

Is he cultural or clean?

Now it's all changed

It's gotta change more

I think it's gettin' better

But nobody's really sure

[Verse 2]

Take your mind back

I don't know when

Back when it always seemed to be just us and them

Girls who wore pink

Boys that wore blue

Boys that always grew up better men than me and you

[Chorus]

And so it goes

Go 'round again

But now and then, we wonder where the real men are

Oh whoa, oh, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Ah

[Verse 3]

See the nice boys dancin' in pairs

Golden earring, golden tan, blow-wave in the hair

Sure, they're all straight

Straight as they lie

All the gays are macho, can't you see the leather shine?

[Verse 4]

You don't wanna act dumb

Don't wanna offend

So don't call me a faggot now unless you are a friend

Then if you're tall

And handsome and strong

You can wear the uniform, and I can play a role

[Chorus]

And so it goes

Go 'round again

But now and then, we wonder who the real men are

Oh whoa, oh, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Ah
