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
beause we think it's getting better
nut nobody's really sure
and so it goes
go 'round again
but now and then we wonder who the real men are
see the nice boys dancing in pairs
golden earring golden tan
blow-wave in the hair
sure they're all straight
straight as a line
all the guys 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 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
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
beause 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
