Human Being

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

One, two, three four

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

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

And what you need is a plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint

Who's gonna sit through all the madness always, act so quaint,

I said - a. 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 really

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.

Then 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 well if

It's a bit obscene, don't you know it's 'cause

I'm a human being

I don't gotta walk around 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.

Won't you give me a little sip why won'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 a

Best lovin' you've had yet, oh baby baby, oh yeah.

Then 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 well if

It's a bit obscene, don't you know it's 'cause

I'm a human being

I don't gotta walk around 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.

It's like I'm talkin' 'bout the human race

You're tryin' to cover up a big disgrace

Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on, come on, come on

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

Funny little thing that I see, but I can

Colour that with history, and make it

Just what I want it to be, well I'm

Blowin' my change on the fan magazines, with all the

Hollywood refugees, oh baby baby oh yeah.

Then 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 well if

It's a bit obscene, don't you know it's 'cause

I'm a human being

I don't gotta walk around 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.
