One Of The Guys
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.
I don't see how you survive, yeah,
Bein' one of the guys
Bein' one of the guys
You tell me 'bout your good times
Fistfights and stuff like that
Screamin' tires, throwin' beer cans
You tell me that's where it's at
You goin' down to the drive-in boy
Just to start trouble there
Your diggin' stones and the beatles too
But you put down long hair
I-- don't see how you survive, yeah
Bein' one of the guys
Bein' one of the guys
Hey, get it, get it, hey, hey…
Hey, when you come up face to face
With somethin' you can't understand
You go on ahead with your ostrich bit
Stickin' your head in the sand
Just because you can't handle baby
My brand of reality
Don't try to erase our differences
By usin' your fists on me…
I-don't see how you survive, yeah
Bein' one of the guys
Bein' one of the guys
Bein' one of the guys
Bein' one of the guys, yeah one of the guys, yeah
One of the guys
One of the guys
Hey
