See the nice boys, dancing in pairs
Golden earring, golden tan, blow-wave in the hair.
Sure they're all straight, straight as a line, all the gays are macho, can't you see their leather shine.

You don't want to sound dumb, don't want to offend
So don't call me a faggot, not unless you are a friend.
Then if you're tall, and handsome and strong,
You can wear the uniform and I could play along.

Time to get scared, time to change plan.
Don't know how to treat a lady, don't know how to be a man.
Time to admit, what you call defeat
'cause there's women running pasture now, and you just drag your feet

Man makes a gun, man goes to war, man can kill, man can drink and man can take a whore.
Kill all the blacks, kill all the reds, and when there's war between the sexes there will be no people left.
