I'd Rather Be a Man

You don't fool me with your tinted eyes and makeup 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 rather 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 is 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 Well, I'd rather 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 Well, I'd rather 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 I'd rather be a man, 'cause I wouldn't wanna be like you
