Devo - Don't Shoot (I’m a Man) lyrics

I get up every day - it's a miracle, I'm told
Somehow I live to work, so I hit the road
Squeeze into my hybrid car
Drive as fast as I can
While, I scan the rooftops - yeah
I scan the rooftops

Don't shoot - I'm a man!
Don't shoot - I'm a man!

I live in every city all around the world
Sometimes it's way too hot
Sometimes it's friggin' cold
One thing's always the same
No matter what they say
There's way too many problems - way
Way too many problems
Don't shoot - I'm a man!
Don't shoot - I'm a man!

You wish you were swingin' from the trees


You wish you were slicin' through the breeze
You wish you were king or queen
You wish you'd hit the lottery

But wishin' is for chumps
High-hopin' is for fools
They'll hunt you down and taze you, bro
For playin' with the rules

Don't shoot - I'm a man!
Don't shoot - I'm a man!

I've got a big dilemma to
Punt or go for broke
It's got me goin' sleepless -
Well I'm about to choke
So let me ask you something
Answer if you can
Think before you answer - There
Is no correct answer
So don't shoot - I'm a man!
Don't shoot - I'm a man!

Don't taze me, bro! Don't taze me, bro!
Don't taze me, bro! Don't taze me, bro!
