Joe Jackson - Real men

^EmTake your mind back, ^DI don't know ^Gwhen. ^DSometimes when it ^Emalways seemed to ^Dbe just us and ^Cthem. ^EmGirls that wore pink, ^Dboys that wore ^Gblue. ^DBoys that always ^Emgrew up better ^Dmen than me and ^Cyou.

^EmWhat's a men now, ^Dwhat's a man ^Gmean. Is he ^Drough or is he ^Emrugged is he ^Dcultural and ^Cclean. ^EmNow it's all change, it's ^Dgot to change ^Gmore, 'cause we ^Dthink it's getting^Em better but no^Dbody's really ^Csure.

And ^Cso it ^Dgoes, go ^Cround a^Dgain, but ^Cnow and ^Dthen we ^Cwonder ^Dwho the ^Greal ^Amen ^Bare.

^EmSee the nice boys, ^Ddancing in ^Gpairs. ^DGolden earring, ^Emgolden tan, ^Dblow-wave in the ^Chair. ^EmSure they're all straight, ^Dstraight as a ^Gline, ^Dall the gays are ^Emmacho, can't you ^Dsee their leather ^Cshine.

You don't ^Emwant to sound dumb, don't ^Dwant to of^Gfend. So ^Ddon't call me a ^Emfaggot, not un^Dless you are a ^Cfriend. ^EmThen if you're tall, and ^Dhandsome and ^Gstrong, ^Dyou can wear the ^Emuniform and ^DI could play a^Clong.

^EmTime to get scared, ^Dtime to change ^Gplan. Don't know ^Dhow to treat a ^Emlady, don't know ^Dhow to be a ^Cman. ^EmTime to admit, what ^Dyou call de^Gfeat 'cause there's ^Dwomen running ^Empast you now, and ^Dyou just drag your ^Cfeet.

^EmMan makes a gun, ^Dman goes to ^Gwar, ^DMan can kill, ^Emman can drink and ^Dman can take a ^Cwhore. ^EmKill all the blacks, ^Dkill all the ^Greds, if there's ^Dwar between the ^Emsexes then there'll ^Dbe no people ^Cleft.
