Peter Stampfel - Song of Man lyrics

I’m dumb and I’m plain and
I ain’t got a brain
At least I don’t act like I do
I’m and mean and I sell them fight green
And I’m frightened of anything new

I’m an angel that fell and I’m going to hell
In a handcart I built by myself
And they say I’ve a soul but
It’s stuck in a hole
And I left it behind on the shelf

And this is the song of man, oh man
It’s the manliest song of them all
And we’ll smash it and bash it
And gnash it and lash it
Until we run into the wall

Well my name it is Legion
I’m from every region
Except for Antarctica, yo
I invented sin and I’m programmed to win
But lately I can’t place or show

I’m killing this earth that gave us our birth
By several spеcies a day
I’m defiling the sеas and
The gentle kind breeze
And convinced that I won’t have the pay

And this is the song of man, oh man
It’s the manliest song of them all
And we’ll sing it and wing it
And fling it and sling it
Until we run into the wall

I’m a big headed fool
If I had the right tool
I would chop every tree to the ground
With a high tech machete
They’d fall like spaghetti
Until not a tree could be found
If I had my wish I would catch every fish
And shoot every bird from the sky
And kill every beast and have a great feast
‘Cos I am the manliest guy

And this is the song of man, oh man
It’s the manliest song of them all
And we’ll strip it and rip it
And blunt it and crip it
Until we run into the wall

The water’s all bad, I am not sad
Because I am badlier still
And I am more tough than all other stuff
‘Cos I have a manlier will

And I’ll have my way, all night every day
‘Cos that is a man’s destiny
And I do what I must ‘cos
It’s man’s world or bust
It’s a manlier man’s world for me

And this is the song of man, oh man
It’s the manliest song of them all
And we’ll root it and toot it
And shoot it and loot it
Until we run into the wall
Weyy, the manliest crash of them all
