Testo Real Men

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

is he cultural and clean
now it's all changed

it's got to change more

cus 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



see the nice boys

dancing in pairs

golden earring, golden teint

and blow-wave in the 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 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

'cause 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

and 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
