Amos Tori
Strange Little Girls
Real Men
(Jackson)
Joe Jackson - from âNight And Dayâ (1982)
Take your mind back - I donât 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
Whatâs a man now - whatâs a man mean
Is he rough or is he rugged
Is he cultural and clean
Now itâs all change - itâs got to change more
âCause we think itâs getting better
But nobodyâs 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 theyâre all straight - straight as a line
All the gays are macho
Canât you see their leather shine
You donât want to sound dumb - donât want to offend
So donât call me a faggot
Not unless you are a friend
Then if youâre 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
Donât know how to treat a lady
Donât know how to be a man
Time to admit - what you call defeat
âCause thereâs 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 thereâs war between the sexes
Then thereâll be no people left
And so it goes - go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are
