Jackson Joe Miscellaneous Real Men Okay, here's my first contribution... --- Joe Jackson--"Real Men" (from the album Body & Soul, I believe) Take your mind back I don't know when. Some time 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 '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 and blow wave in their 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 Then you can wear a uniform and I can 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... --- ---Alfvaen(a.k.a. Aaron V.
