Real Man Lyrics - Initiation - Todd Rundgren

When I was a child 

I thought as a child 

I spoke as a child 

I didn't know better 

But now I'm a man 

I look like a man 

I'm old as a man 

And I should know better 

Got my head in the sky 

And my mind knows what it wants 

But my body just drags me down 

And my world is something you can't see 

But it's still very real to me 

You can find it in the hole where I keep my soul 

There it is - way down inside me 

There's a real man 

Forget about my body and be a real man

I see with my heart 

I hear with my heart 

I feel with my heart 

Sometimes it works better 

And some so-called friends put me down 

And they pity me for trying 

Bad emotions push me around 

But the vision shines on and on 

It will shine when we all are gone 

And I'd like to add a little sparkle while I'm here 

Light it up - way down inside me 

There's a real man 

Forget about bad feelings and be a real man 

Photos 

Some men's world is only hate and money 

Afraid of everything and they laugh at nothing 

And they only live to criticize 

You can laugh at me now (ha ha ha) 

But the time comes to everybody 

When you must decide 

When that day finally comes along 

You might wish you'd been a little more strong 

Then you'll wake up in the morning cryin' 

"Oh my God" 

There it is - way down inside me 

It's a real man 

You got to grow up sometime 

Be a real man 

Suffer them slings and arrows 

Be a real man 

Now be a real man 

Don't sell yourself for nothing 

Be a real man 

Don't take no crap from no one 

Be a real man 

Get your trip together 

Be a real man
