I’m a Man - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Laid here with the advertising sliding past my eyes

Like cartoons from other people's lives

I start to wonder what it takes to be a man, mm

Well, I learned to drink and I learned to smoke

And I learned to tell a dirty joke

Oh, if that's all there is, then there's no point for me

Oh, so please can I ask just why we're alive?

'Cause all that you do seems such a waste of time

And if you hang around too long, you'll be a man

Tell me 'bout it

Your car can get up to a hundred and ten

You've nowhere to go, but you'll go there again

And nothing ever makes no difference to a man

So you stumble into town and hold your stomach in

Show them what you've got, though they've seen everything

Yeah, you're a beauty but they've seen your type before

You've got no need but still you want

So go and book that restaurant

The wine will flow and then you'll just fly away

So please can I ask just why we're alive?

'Cause all that you do seems such a waste of time

And if you hang around too long you'll be a man

Tell me 'bout it

Your car can go up to a hundred and ten

You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again

And nothing ever makes no difference to a man

Oh, tell me 'bout it

And please can I ask just why we're alive?

'Cause all that you do seems such a waste of time

And if you hang around too long you'll be a man

Oh tell, c'mon, tell me 'bout it

Your car can get up to a hundred and ten

You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again

And nothing ever makes no difference to a man

To a man

That's what I am
