New York Dolls - Human Being lyrics

One, two, three, four Well, if you don't like it Go ahead, find yourself a saint Go ahead, now try to find a boy Who's gonna be what I ain't Now what you need is A plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint Who's gonna sit through the madness And always acts so quaint, I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" With your new friend You're really making a scene And I see you bouncing around From machine to machine And you know they're never real, they're Never what they seem And you can try to generate some warmth And you see just what I mean, I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" And if I'm acting like a king Well, that's cause I'm a human being And if I want too many things Don't you know that I'm a human being And if I've got to dream Baby baby baby yeah I'm a human being And when it gets a bit obscene I'm a human being And I've just got to go around with my head hung down Just like a human, babe, an unknown human being And I can hold my head so high 'Cause I'm a human, a riff raff human being Why won't you give me a little sip? Why don't you try me on a drag of that cigarette? Why don't you try to give me something that I will never ever forget? But now don't you blow it all on a million dollar bet Because you're liable to lose it On the best lovin' you've had yet I'm beggin' yeah, yeah, oh yeah And if I'm acting like a king Well, that's 'cause I'm a human being I want too many things Don't you know that I'm a human being And if I've got to dream I said, "Well I'm a human being" And when it gets a bit obscene I'm a human being And I've got to go around with my head hung down Just like a human, babe an unknown human being And I can hold my head so high 'Cause I'm a human, a riff raff human being In fact I'm talking about the human race You're trying to cover up the big disgrace I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" Oh, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon Yeah, yeah, oh yeah Well, I may think that this whole scene is Just a too appalling for me Or I may be the type who's just a mad about Every little thing that I see But I can color that with mystery Or make it just what I want it to be While I'm blowing my change on the fan magazines With all the Hollywood refugees screaming, "Yeah, yeah, oh yeah" And if I'm acting like a king I said, "Well, I'm a human being" And if I want too many things Don't you know that I'm a human being If I've got to dream Baby, baby, baby, I'm a human being And when it gets a bit obscene I'm a human being I'm a human being I'm a human being I'm a human being I'm a human being
