'Round here we don't need no one trying to set us straight | |
Heck, I got a red neck in plaid suit | |
And he's on TV real late balalaikas tolling | |
Sheba plays the flute | |
There's a communist and capitalists | |
They all think I'm cute | |
You know, I'm out of rehab | |
You know, I'm with the band | |
Anyway I think it's time to say | |
Exactly what I am | |
Cause I tried to be a man | |
But that's just not meant to be | |
You know I | |
Tried to be a man | |
That's not what I came to be | |
Well, there's seven years of famine | |
And seven years of drought | |
Seven years of Sam | |
And you know what I'm talking about | |
And it won't take very long before its hard to tell | |
If they're trying to take you back with him | |
To heaven or to hell | |
They make her so pretty | |
She won't be pretty long | |
She'll be rising out of the sea of planet Babylon | |
Cause she tried to be a man | |
That's not what she came to be | |
She tried to be a man | |
That's not what she came to be | |
She's living down on Bronson | |
She never blinks her eyes | |
The family in Wisconsin | |
Look like they're hypnotized | |
I get a strange sensation | |
When I lay down in my bed | |
In fact, if you could drop me on the corner | |
Here instead on planet Babylon | |
That's where they wrote the book | |
Hey there's something here about you | |
Come on and take a look | |
It says you tried to be a man | |
But that's not what you came to be | |
It says, it says, it says, it says | |
You tried to be a man | |
But that's not what you came to be | |
Came to be | |
What you came to be | |
That's not what you came to be |
