REAL MEN - Joe Jackson
Em D G D Em D C D C D C D
Em D G
Take your mind back, I don't know when.
D Em D C
Sometimes when it always seemed to be just us and them.
Em D G
Girls that wore pink, boys that wore blue.
D Em D C D C D C D
Boys that always grew up better men than me and you.
Em D G
What's a man now, what's a man mean.
D Em D C
Is he rough or is he rugged, is he cultural and clean.
Em D G
Now it's all changed, it's got to change more,
D Em D C
cause we think it's getting better but no-body's really sure.
CHORUS
C D C D
And so it goes, go round a-gain,
C D C D G A B
but now and then we wonder who the real men are.
B A B A G Bm C D C D
Em D G
See the nice boys, dancing in pairs.
D Em D C
Golden earring, golden tan, blow wave in the hair.
Em D G
Sure they're all straight, straight as a line.
D Em D C D C D C D
All the gays are macho, can't you see their leather shine.
Em D G
You don't want to sound dumb. Don't want to of-fend,
D Em D C
so don't call me a faggot, not un-less you are a friend.
Em D G
Then if you're tall and handsome and strong,
D Em D C
you can wear the uniform and I could play a-long.
CHORUS
Em D G
Time to get scared, time to change plan.
D Em D C
Don't know how to treat a lady, don't know how to be a man.
Em D G
Time to admit what you call de-feat,
D Em D C D C D C D
cause there's women running past you now and you just drag your feet.
Em D G
Man makes a gun, man goes to war.
D Em D C
Man can kill, man can drink and man can take a whore.
Em D G
Kill all the Blacks, kill all the Reds.
D Em D C
If there's war between the sexes then there'll be no people left. Last updated:
