I'd rather be a man lyrics

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

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

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

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
