Real Man Lyrics


When I was a child
I thought as a child
I spoke as a child
I didn't know better, betterBut now I'm a man
I look like a man
Old as a man
And I should know better, betterGot my head in the sky
And my mind knows what it wants
But my body just drags me downAnd my world's something you can't see
But it's still very real to me
You can find it in the hole where I keep my soulThere it is, way down inside me
There's a real man, a real man
Forget about my body and be a real manI see with my heart
Hear with my heart
I feel with my heart
Sometimes it works better, betterAnd some so called friends put me down
And they pity me for trying
Bad emotions push me aroundBut the vision shines on and on

It will shine when we all are gone
And I'd like to add a little sparkle while I'm hereLight it up, way down inside me
There's a real man, a real man
Forget about bad feelings and be a real manSome men's world is only hate and money
'Fraid of everything and they laugh at nothing
And they all believe to criticizeYou can laugh at me now
But the time comes to everybody
Then you must decideWhen that day finally comes along
You might wish you'd been a little more strong
Then you'll wake up in the morning
Cryin', "Oh my God"There it is, way down inside me
It's a real man, a real man
Got to grow up sometime
Be a real man, real man
Suffer them slings and arrowsBe a real man, now be a real man
Don't sell yourself for nothing
Be a real man, be a real manDon't take no crap from no one
Be a real man, be a real man
Get your trip together
Be a real man, be a real man

Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as I Saw The Light and Hello It's Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.

Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd's ability in working with musicians.

For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He recently fronted, recorded and toured with the band The New Cars, which featured two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises. He toured with a strong band for this album, which included his long-time bassist Kasim Sulton, and former The Tubes drummer, Prarie Prince.

On September 29th, 2008 Rundgren released his 20th studio album "Arena" via Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK (Hi-Fi Recordings in the USA), to critical acclaim.

2011 found him covering Robert Johnsons songs on stage as well as on a CD called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson"
