Lyrics I Want Be Man - Cheap Trick

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)
