Lyrics I Want Be Man - Cheap Trick

Words and Music by Rick Nielsen

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

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'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)
