'Round here we don't need no one trying to set us straight
2
Heck, I got a red neck in plaid suit
3
And he's on tv real late balalaikas tolling
4
Sheba plays the flute
5
There's a communist and capitalists
6
They all think I'm cute
7
You know, I'm out of rehab
8
You know, I'm with the band
9
Anyway I think it's time to say
10
Exactly what I am
11
Cause I tried to be a man
12
But that's just not meant to be
13
You know I
14
Tried to be a man
15
That's not what I came to be
16
Well, there's seven years of famine
17
And seven years of drought
18
Seven years of Sam
19
And you know what I'm talking about
20
And it won't take very long before its hard to tell
21
If they're trying to take you back with him
22
To heaven or to hell
23
They make her so pretty
24
She won't be pretty long
25
She'll be rising out of the sea of planet Babylon
26
Cause she tried to be a man
27
That's not what she came to be
28
She tried to be a man
29
That's not what she came to be
30
She's living down on Bronson
31
She never blinks her eyes
32
The family in Wisconsin
33
Look like they're hypnotized
34
I get a strange sensation
35
When I lay down in my bed
36
In fact, if you could drop me on the corner
37
Here instead on planet Babylon
38
That's where they wrote the book
39
Hey there's something here about you
40
Come on and take a look
41
It says you tried to be a man
42
But that's not what you came to be
43
It says, it says, it says, it says
44
You tried to be a man
45
But that's not what you came to be
46
Came to be
47
What you came to be
48
That's not what you came to be
