I'd Rather Be Man Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

You don't fool me with your tinted eyes and make-up 

The fire bird 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 if 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
