Words and music by rick nielsen
I want be man
I want be man

I want be man
I want be man


I dont like living inside
This metal plastic shell
Its no way to treat your help

Theyll tell you go to hell

I want be man

I want be man
I want be man
I want be man


Faster master
Ive got better things which I can do

Hey I dont like livin in this fleshy human shell
As much as I abuse it, its really gone to hell


I want be man
I want be man
I want be man

I want be man

Id rather be a robot

So I dont have to think
cause then I could be programmed
Where I dont have to dream

Id rather be a man
Instead of a machine
Flesh and blood life and death

Its a mystery
Nothing to be programmed
Nothing is for sure

And least theres a reason
A reason for my life
I want be man

You want be me

I wanna live in your body (hey)
