'Round here we don't need no one trying to set us straight Heck, I got a red neck in plaid suit And he's on TV real late balalaikas tolling Sheba plays the flute There's a communist and capitalists They all think I'm cute You know, I'm out of rehab You know, I'm with the band Anyway I think it's time to say Exactly what I am Cause I tried to be a man But that's just not meant to be You know I Tried to be a man That's not what I came to be Well, there's seven years of famine And seven years of drought Seven years of Sam And you know what I'm talking about And it won't take very long before its hard to tell If they're trying to take you back with him To heaven or to hell They make her so pretty She won't be pretty long SongtexteShe'll be rising out of the sea of planet Babylon Cause she tried to be a man That's not what she came to be She tried to be a man That's not what she came to be She's living down on Bronson She never blinks her eyes The family in Wisconsin Look like they're hypnotized I get a strange sensation When I lay down in my bed In fact, if you could drop me on the corner Here instead on planet Babylon That's where they wrote the book Hey there's something here about you Come on and take a look It says you tried to be a man But that's not what you came to be It says, it says, it says, it says You tried to be a man But that's not what you came to be Came to be What you came to be That's not what you came to be (Thanks to Franco for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
