作词 : Peter Hammill/Herbert Grönemeyer 作曲 : Herbert Grönemeyer Men will open their arms Men assure security Men will cry in their beer If you don't treat them tenderly So vulnerable, here are the men Whatever in the world Would the world become without them? Men do deals and favours Men think a woman can be owned Men will always hustle Men tell lies on the telephone. Men are all primed for action Wallets full of credit cards the main attraction. Men consider themselves with pride Men are macho, but so soft inside Men need help, 'cause they can't decide What makes a man a man When is a a man a man? What makes a man a man? Men have rippling muscels Men can carry heavy sacks... Men who've seen it all Men who'll have many heart attacks. Men bash their heads on brick walls Men who think that only men make any sense at all. Men consider themselves with pride Men are macho, but so soft inside Men need help, 'cause they can't decide What makes a man a man When is a a man a man? What makes a man a man? Men get drunk with style Men go out to pick a fight Men read morning papers Men watch TV late at night Men are building missiles Men do each and every single damn right thing When is a man a man? What makes a man a man? Men can never have babies Men are going bald on top Men just want to be human But they're programmed to be men, they cannot stop So vulnerable, here are the men Whatever in the world Would the world become without them? Men were glasses to cover their eyes Men go off into corners to cry Men need help, 'cause they can't decide What makes a man a man When is a man a man? What makes a man a man? Hey mama, hey papa, how can I be a man?
