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 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 change  it's got to change more
'Cause 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 tan
Blow-wave in the hair
Sure they're all straight  straight as a line
All the gays are macho
Can't you see the 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
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
