You see three men with a desire to be
somebody who's equal, liberated and free
We have to fight against biology as well as history
Let's sing a song to see if you agree
We men we have a Y, a crucial letter
that is tinier than the tip of a pen
Imagine how this detail, though small
has made a big difference for Barbie and ken
It separates a she from a he
We're more macho than we really need to be today
We men
we also have an X of equal importance
that is part of our sensational plan
to be strong and silent lovers
as well as "rubber-glovers"
It's time to introduce the modern man
You're a man if you can be strong and be brave.
belong in a cave you're a man
You're an man if you can be wrong and behave
like a weak and meek and emotional man
You're a man if you can repair anything that is broken
A lady's heart, an old sedan
You are more of a man the less you're a man
You're a man if you can
It's not a piece of cake,
in case you thought so but a struggle on many frontiers
a fight against opinions of the past
The modern man's busier than he appears
Our father's father couldn't care less
'bout the new kind of stress we experience right now
We men
It's not that we complain about all the changes
they are widening our emotional span
We will smell just like a flower
We won't piss in the shower
Who wouldn't just love the modern man
You're a man if you can be strong and be brave.
belong in a cave you're a man
You're a man if you can be wrong and behave
like a weak and meek and emotional man
You're a man if you can be aware of the roles and even change them
so me be Jane and she Tarzan
You're more of a man the less you're a man
You're a man if you can
You wonder when the modern man will prevail
Right now he is evolving at the speed of a snail
It's not for you or me to see but for the future to unveil
the splendor of the tender gender bender male
You're a man if you can be strong and be brave,
belong in a cave you're a man
You're a man if you can be wrong and behave
like a weak and meek and emotional man
You're a man if you can take care of a hyper dirty diaper
before you-know-what hits the fan
You are more of a man
the less you're a man
You're a man
if you can
