JOHNNY THUNDERS
"Human Being"

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
So 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 really,
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 yeah
I'm a human being
And when it gets a bit obscene
(Wooah) I'm a human being
And I've got to go around
With my head hung down
Just like a human being
We're all just human being
And I can hold my head so high
'Cause I'm a human, a first class 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 a bet that you can't get
I'm saying yeah yeah 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
(Wooah) I'm a human being
And I've got to go around
With my head hung down
Just like a human being
We're all just human being
And I can hold my head so high
'Cause I'm a human, a first class human being

In fact I'm talking about the human race
They're trying to cover up the big disgrace
I said yeah yeah yeah,
Oh C'mon C'mon C'mon

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
Well I can't follow that with history
Or make it just what I want it to be
While I'm blowing my change on a fan magazine
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
And if I've got to dream
Baby baby, I'm a human being
And when it gets a bit obscene
(Wooah) I'm a human being
And I've got to go around
With my head hung down
Just like a human being
We're all just human being
And I can hold my head so high
'Cause I'm a human, a first class human being

I'm a human being
I'm a human being
I'm a human being
I'm a human being
