Human Being

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

Now what you need is

A plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint

Who's gonna sit through the madness

And always acts so quaint

I said yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, with your new friend

You're really making a scene

And I see you bouncin' around

From machine to machine

And you know they're never real

They're never what they seem

And you can try to generate some warmth

And you see just what I mean, I said yeah, yeah

Yeah

And If I'm acting like a king

Well, that's cause I'm a human being

And if I want too many things

Don't you know that I'm a human being

And if I've got to dream

Baby, baby, yeah, I'm a human being

And when it gets a bit obscene (whoa!)

I'm a human being

And I've just gotta go around

With my head hung down

Just like a human being, oh no, human being

I can hold my head so high

Because I'm a human, a riff-raff human being

Why won't you give me a little sip

Why don't you try me on a drag of that cigarette

Why don't you try to give me something

That I will never ever forget

But now don't you blow it all

On a million dollar bet

Because you're liable to lose it

On the best lovin' you've had yet

I'm beggin, yeah-yeah-yeah

Oh yeah, and If I'm acting like a king

Well, that's 'cause I'm a human being

I want too many things

Don't you know that I'm a human being

And if I've got to dream

I said well, I'm a human being

And when it gets a bit obscene (whoa-woo!)

I'm a human being

And I've just gotta go around

With my head hung down

Just like a human, says, oh no, human being

I can hold my head so high

'Cause I'm a human, a riff-raff human being

In fact I'm talkin' 'bout the human race

You're trying to cover up the big disgrace

I said yeah-yeah-yeah, wow!

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

Said yeah-yeah, oh yeah

Well, I may think that this whole scene

Is just a too appalling for me

Or I may be the type who's just a mad about

Every little thing that I see

But I can color that with history

Or make it just what I want it to be

While I'm blowing my change on the fan magazines

With all the Hollywood refugees

Screaming, "Yeah-yeah-yeah, oh yeah"

And If I'm acting like a king

I said, "Well, I'm a human being"

And if I want too many things

Don't you know, well, I'm a human being

And I've got to dream, baby baby, baby

I'm a human being

And when it gets a bit obscene, woo-woo-woo!

I'm a human being

I'm a human being

I'm a human being

I'm a human being

I'm a human being
