Words and music by rick nielsen

I want be man

I want be man

I want be man

I want be man



I don't like living inside

This metal plastic shell

It's no way to treat your help

They'll tell you go to hell



I want be man

I want be man

I want be man

I want be man



Faster master

I've got better things which i can do

Hey i don't like livin' in this fleshy human shell

As much as i abuse it, it's really gone to hell



I want be man

I want be man

I want be man

I want be man



I'd rather be a robot

So i don't have to think

'cause then i could be programmed

Where i don't have to dream

I'd rather be a man

Instead of a machine

Flesh and blood life and death

It's a mystery

Nothing to be programmed

Nothing is for sure

And least there's a reason

A reason for my life

I want be man

You want be me



I wanna live in your body (hey)



(repeat to coda)
