Englishman in New York - Sting

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one.
Gentleness, sobriety are rare
in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun.

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
