Real Men (2026 Remaster)

[Verse 1]

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? Cultural and clean?

Now it's all change, it's got to change more

We think it's getting better, but nobody's really sure

[Chorus]

And so it goes, go 'round again

But now and then we wonder who the real men are

[Post-Chorus]

Mhm, mm-mm, mhm, mm-mm

Ah-ah

[Verse 2]

See the nice boys dancing in pairs

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

Sure thеy're all straight, straight as a line

All the gays are macho, see their 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 and handsome and strong

You can 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

[Post-Chorus]

Mhm, mm-mm, mhm, mm-mm

Ah-ah

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

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
