I Want Be Man

Words and Music by Rick Nielsen
I want be man
I want be man
I want be man
I want be man
I don't like living inside
This metal plastic shell
It's no way to treat your help
They'll tell you go to hell
I want be man
I want be man
I want be man
I want be man
Faster master
I've got better things which I can do
Hey I don't like livin' in this fleshy human shell
As much as I abuse it, it's really gone to hell
I want be man
I want be man
I want be man
I want be man
I'd rather be a robot
So I don't have to think
'Cause then I could be programmed
Where I don't have to dream
I'd rather be a man
Instead of a machine
Flesh and blood life and death
It's a mystery
Nothing to be programmed
Nothing is for sure
And least there's a reason
A reason for my life
I want be man
You want be me
I wanna live in your body (hey)
(Repeat to Coda)
