You don't fool me with your tinted eyes and make-up  The fire bird 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 if 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  Well, 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  Well, 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
