歌曲歌詞
Well you we don't need no one
Trying to set us straight
I got a red neck in plaid suit
And he's on tv real late
Balalaikas tolling Sheba plays the flute
There's 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 what I'm not meant to be
You know I'm
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
You know what I'm talking about
And it won't take very long before it's 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
She'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
Oh 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
There's something here about you
Come on and take a look
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
