Human Being

Uno due tre

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 all the things I ain't

What you need is a plastic doll

With a fresh coat of paint

Who's gonna sit through the madness

And always act so quaint

Oh yeah yeah yeah

With your new friends

You're really making a scene

I've seen you bouncing 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

Oh yeah yeah yeah

And if I'm acting like a king

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

I want too many things

And that's 'cause I'm a human being

And if I've got to dream

I said well, I'm a human being

And if it gets to be obscene, yeah

I'm a human being

And I just go around with my head hung down

Just like a human being and all those human beings

I can hold my head so high

Just like a human, I'm a riffraff human being

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'll 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

Oh 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

That's 'cause I'm a human being

And if I've got to dream

I said well, I'm a human being

And if it gets to be obscene, yeah

I'm a human being

And I just go around with my head hung down

Just like a human being and all those human beings

I can hold my head so high

Just like a human, I'm a riff raff human being

In fact I'm talking about the human race

Trying to cover up the big disgrace

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah

Well I may think that this whole scene

Is too appalling for me

Or I may be the type who is just a mad about

Everything that I see

But I can't cover this with history

Or make it just what I want it to be

I'm blowing my change on the fan magazines

With all the Hollywood refugees

Said yeah yeah, oh yeah

And If I'm acting like a king

That's 'cause I'm a human being

And if I want too many things

That's 'cause I'm a human being

And if I've got to dream

I said well, I'm a human being

And if it gets to be obscene, yeah

I'm a human being
