Laid here with the advertising sliding past my eyes like cartoons from other peoples lives I start to wonder what it takes to be a man Well I learned to drink and I learned to smoke and I learned to tell a dirty joke If that's all there is then there's no point for me
So please can I ask just why we're alive? 'Cos 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 hold your stomach in Show them what you've got tho' 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 then you'll just fly away
