| 1 | Dm | C | F | |
| Take your mind back, | I don't know | when. |
| C | Dm | C | Bb | |
| Sometimes when it | always seemed to | be just us and | them. |
| Dm | C | F | |
| Girls that wore pink, | boys that wore | blue. |
| C | Dm | C | Bb | |
| Boys that always | grew up better | men than me and | you. |
| 2) What's a men 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. |
| Bb | C | Bb | C | |
| CHORUS : | And so it | goes, | go round | again, |
| Bb | C | Bb | C | F | G | A | |
| but | now and | then we | wonder | who the | real | men | are. |
| A | G | A | G | Fm | Am | Bb | C | Bb | C | |
| 3) 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 gays are macho, can't you see their leather shine. |
| 4) 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. |
| CHORUS |
| 5) 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 pasture now, and you just drag your feet. |
| 6) Man makes a gun, man goes to war, |
| man can kill, man can drink and man can take a whore. |
| Kill all the blacks, kill all the reds, |
| and there's war between the sexes and there'll be no people left. |
| CHORUS |
