Real Men Lyrics - Strange Little Girls - Tori Amos

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 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 

'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
