Human Being

(Johnny Thunders / David Johansen)
"Ready
Holervabeese
1-2-3-4
Oh yeeeah
Oh yeeeeeah"

Well if you don't like it
Go ahead find yourself a saint
Go ahead now try to find a boy
Whose gonna be what I ain't

What you need is a plastic doll
With a fresh coat of pain
Whose gonna sit through the madness
And just always act so quaint

Oh yeahohhh yeah well uh

It's your new friend
You're really making a scene
And I see you bouncinin' 'around
from machine to machine

But you know that they're never really, never really what they seem But you can try to generate some war but then you'll see just what I mean oh baby, baby, baby yeah

And if I've acted like a king
Don't ya know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
And if I want too many things
Don't ya know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
And if I've got to dream
Don't you know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
And when it gets a bit obscene
Don't ya know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
I just gotta walk around
With my head hung proud
Just like a human, one more human being
I can hold my head so high
Just like a human
A riff raff human being

Won't ya gimme a little sip Why won't you gimme a drag of that cigarette
Why don't you try to give me something that I'll, never ever forget But now, don't you blow it all
On a million dollar bet
Because you're liable to lose it
On a best one that you've never had yet
No baby baby oh yeah

And if I've acted like a king
Don't ya know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
And if I want too many things
Don't ya know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
And if I've got to dream
Don't you know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
And when it gets a bit obscene
Don't ya know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
I just gotta walk around
With my head hung down
Just like a human, one more human being
I can hold my head so high
Just like a human
A riff raff human being

In fact ya tell me it's not the human race
Ya tryin to tell me I'm a big disgrace
Ah baby yeah yeah yeah
Fuck 'em fuck 'em fuck 'em all

Well I may think that
This whole scene is just a too appualing for me
Well I may be the type who's just mad about
Every little thing that I've seen
But I can't cover that with history Make it just what I want it to be
I can blow my change on all their magazines
With all the Hollywood refugees
Oh baby baby oh yeahhh

And if I've acted like a king
Don't ya know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
And if I want too many things
Don't ya know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
And if I've got to dream
Don't you know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
And when it gets a bit obscene
Don't ya know it's 'cuz I'm a human being
I just gotta walk around
With my head hung down
Just like a human.. one more human being
I can hold my head so high
Just like a human
A riff raff human being
