Human Being lyrics

[Intro]

Ready

Whole different beast

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

Oh-oh yeah, oh yeah

[Verse 1]

Well if you don't like it

Go ahead find yourself a saint

Go ahead now try to find a boy

Who's gonna be what I ain't

What you need is

A plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint

Who's gonna sit through the madnesses

And always act so quaint

Well, maybe, yeah

Oh yeah, well, a

It's your new friend

You're really making a scene

And I've seen you

Bouncing around from machine to machine

But you know that they're never real

Never really what they seem

And you can count on

Generate some warmth

Then you'll see just what I mean

Oh, baby, baby, baby, yeah

[Chorus]

And if I'm acting like a king

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

And if I want too many things

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

And if I've got to dream

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

And when it gets a bit obscene

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

I don't got to walk 'round with my head on down

Just like a human, oh no, a human being

I can hold my head so high

Just like a human, a real proud human being

[Verse 2]

Won't you give me a little sip?

Why don't you give me a drag of that cigarette?

Why don't you try to give me something that I'll never ever forget?

But now, could you blow it all on a million-dollar bet

Because you're liable to lose it

On the best loving, you've never had yet

Oh, baby, baby, oh yeah

[Chorus]

And if I'm acting like a king

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

And if I want too many things

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

And if I've got to dream

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

And when it gets a bit obscene

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

I don't got to walk 'round with my head on down

Just like a human, oh no, a human being

I can hold my head so high

Just like a human, a real proud human being

[Bridge]

It's like I'm talking about the human race

You're trying to cover up a big disgrace

Oh, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on, come on, come on, come on

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Verse 3]

Well I may think that this whole scene is just a too appalling for me

Well, I may be the type who's just mad about every little thing that I see, but I can

Color that with history, and make it just what I want it to be, well I'm

Blowing my change on the fan magazines with all the Hollywood refugees

Oh, baby, baby, oh yeah

[Chorus]

And if I'm acting like a king

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

And if I want too many things

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

And if I've got to dream

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

And when it gets a bit obscene

Don't you know it's 'cause I'm a human being

I don't got to walk 'round with my head on down

Just like a human, whoa no, a human being

I can hold my head so high

Just like a human, a real, real human being

[Guitar Solo 2]

I'm a human being

I'm a human being

I'm a human being

Ha hahaha haha ha

I'm a human being

Oh yeah

I'm a human being yeah

I'm a human being

Ooooooooo yeah

I'm a human being

Oh yeah

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a human being

I'm a human being

Oooooooooo yeah!
