What's a man now?
 What's a man mean?
 Is he rough or is he rugged?
 Is he cultural or clean?

 Now it's all changed
 It's gotta change more
 I think it's gettin' better
 But nobody's really sure

 Take your mind back
 I don't know when
 Back when it always seemed to be just us and them
 Girls who wore pink
 Boys that wore blue
 Boys that always grew up better men than me and you

 And so it goes
 Go 'round again
 But now and then we wonder where the real men are

 Oh, whoah
 Oh, whoah, oh, oh, oh
 Oh, whoah
 Oh, whoah, oh, oh, oh
 Ahhh

 Even nice boys, dancin' in pairs
 Golden earing, golden tan, blowing in their hair
 Sure they're all straight
 Straight as they lie
 All the gays are macho, can't you see the leather shine

 You don't wanna act dumb,
 Don't wanna offend
 So don't call me a faggot now unless you are a friend

  and tall
 And handsome and strong
 You can wear the uniform and I can play a role

 And so it goes
 Go 'round again
 But now and then we wonder where the real men are

 Oh, whoah
 Oh, whoah, oh, oh, oh
 Oh, whoah
 Oh, whoah, oh, oh, oh
 Ahhh
