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
