labi, tad nāksies man jūs izglītot
& pie reizes savu sirdi iepriecināt...
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...
