Lyrics Men - Herbert Grönemeyer

Men

men will open their arms\nmen assure security\nmen will cry in their beer\nif you don’t treat them tenderly\nso vulnerable, here are the men\nwhatever in the world\nwould the world become without them?\nmen do deals and favours\nmen think a woman can be owned\nmen will always hustle\nmen tell lies on the telephone\nmen are all primed for action\nwallets full of credit cards the main attraction\nmen consider themselves with pride\nmen are macho, but so soft inside\nmen need help, 'cause they can’t decide\nwhat makes a man a man\nwhen is a a man a man?\nwhat makes a man a man?\nmen have rippling muscels\nmen can carry heavy sacks…\nmen who’ve seen it all\nmen who’ll have many heart attacks\nmen bash their heads on brick walls\nmen who think that only men make any sense at all\nmen consider themselves with pride\nmen are macho, but so soft inside\nmen need help, 'cause they can’t decide\nwhat makes a man a man\nwhen is a a man a man?\nwhat makes a man a man?\nmen get drunk with style\nmen go out to pick a fight\nmen read morning papers\nmen watch tv late at night\nmen are building missiles\nmen do each and every single damn right thing\nwhen is a man a man?\nwhat makes a man a man?\nmen can never have babies\nmen are going bald on top\nmen just want to be human\nbut they’re programmed to be men, they cannot stop\nso vulnerable, here are the men\nwhatever in the world\nwould the world become without them?\nmen were glasses to cover their eyes\nmen go off into corners to cry\nmen need help, 'cause they can’t decide\nwhat makes a man a man\nwhen is a man a man?\nwhat makes a man a man?\nhey mama, hey papa, how can i be a man?
