Lyrics

[00:02.71] One, two, three four
[00:10.66] Oh, yeah
[00:19.35] Oh, yeah
[00:23.90] Well if you don't like it, go ahead,
[00:26.75] Find yourself a saint, go ahead now
[00:29.73] Try to find a boy who's gonna be what I ain't
[00:34.70] And what you need is a plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint
[00:39.65] Who's gonna sit through all the madness always, act so quaint,
[00:49.90] I said - a. Oh yeah, well - a.
[00:51.99]
[00:52.28] It's your new friend, you're really
[00:54.33] Making a scene, and I've seen you
[00:57.06] Bouncing around, from machine to machine
[01:02.12] But you know that
[01:02.74]
[01:04.11] They're never really
[01:06.06] Never really what they seem, and you can count on
[01:09.82] Generate some warmth, then you'll
[01:12.02] See just what I mean, oh baby, baby, baby yeah.
[01:15.26]
[01:19.07] Then if I'm acting like a king, don't you know it's 'cause
[01:21.46] I'm a human being, and if I
[01:24.36] Want too many things, don't you know it's 'cause
[01:27.37] I'm a human being
[01:29.47]
[01:31.02] And if I've got to dream, don't you know it's 'cause
[01:33.37] I'm a human being, and well if
[01:36.15] It's a bit obscene, don't you know it's 'cause
[01:39.42] I'm a human being
[01:41.03]
[01:41.42] I don't gotta walk around with my head on down
[01:44.56] Just like a human, oh no a human being
[01:48.62] I can hold my head so high
[01:51.29] Just like a human, a real proud human being.
[01:56.71]
[01:57.42] Won't you give me a little sip why won't you give me a
[02:02.15] Drag of that cigarette, why don't you
[02:04.21] Try to give me something, that I'll
[02:06.52] Never ever forget, but now
[02:08.53]
[02:09.56] Could you blow it all, on a
[02:11.91] Million dollar bet, because you're
[02:14.81] Liable to lose it on a
[02:18.01] Best lovin' you've had yet, oh baby baby, oh yeah.
[02:22.72]
[02:23.30] Then if I'm acting like a king, don't you know it's 'cause
[02:27.00] I'm a human being, and if I
[02:29.36] Want too many things, don't you know it's 'cause
[02:33.20] I'm a human being
[02:34.88]
[02:35.61] And if I've got to dream, don't you know it's 'cause
[02:39.46] I'm a human being, and well if
[02:42.77] It's a bit obscene, don't you know it's 'cause
[02:45.13] I'm a human being
[02:47.17]
[02:47.50] I don't gotta walk around with my head on down
[02:51.14] Just like a human, oh no a human being
[02:55.97] I can hold my head so high
[02:56.86] Just like a human, a real proud human being.
[03:01.34]
[03:02.27] It's like I'm talkin' 'bout the human race
[03:04.75] You're tryin' to cover up a big disgrace
[03:07.43] Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
[03:10.49] Come on, come on, come on
[03:14.26]
[03:41.33] Well I may think that this whole scene is just a
[03:45.44] Too appalling for me
[03:47.46] Well, I may be the type who's just mad about
[03:50.27] Funny little thing that I see, but I can
[03:53.19]
[03:53.91] Colour that with history, and make it
[03:56.53] Just what I want it to be, well I'm
[04:00.24] Blowin' my change on the fan magazines, with all the
[04:04.67] Hollywood refugees, oh baby baby oh yeah.
[04:05.65]
[04:07.40] Then if I'm acting like a king, don't you know it's 'cause
[04:11.53] I'm a human being, and if I
[04:16.96] Want too many things, don't you know it's 'cause
[04:18.37] I'm a human being
[04:18.95]
[04:21.63] And if I've got to dream, don't you know it's 'cause
[04:22.97] I'm a human being, and well if
[04:26.32] It's a bit obscene, don't you know it's 'cause
[04:29.21] I'm a human being
[04:31.12]
[04:31.64] I don't gotta walk around with my head on down
[04:34.76] Just like a human, oh no a human being
[04:38.24] I can hold my head so high
[04:40.97] Just like a human, a real proud human being.
