I`d Rather Be Man Lyrics

(lead vocal - david paton)

 

 You don't fool me with your tinted eyes and make-up

 The firebird hides in shadow when you wake up

 Your golden hair is black

 Your jeans are tight but your hide is slack

 Try it on the company but you don't fool me

 

 Well i'd rather be a man than play my role like you do

 I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do

 I'd rahter be a man than slave the way that you do

 I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do

 

 You don't fool me with your easy lies and fables

 You won't see me in ten buck furs and sables

 You sparkle like a snake

 The wine is real but the glass if fake

 Blame it on the apple tree but you don't fool me

 

 Well i'd rather be a man than play my role like you do

 I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do

 I'd rahter be a man than slave the way that you do

 I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do

 

 Your golden hair is black

 Your jeans are tight but your hide is slack

 Try it on the company but you don't fool me

 

 Well i'd rather be a man than play my role like you do

 I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do

 I'd rahter be a man than slave the way that you do

 I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do

 

 I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do

 

 I'd rather be a man cause i wouldn't wanna be like you
