==Information== | |||
This is a cover of the [[New York Dolls]] song (1974). | |||
Maurizio Mazi is credited with drumming on this track. | |||
That throws the recording date and personnel in to question. | |||

{{Lyrics | |||
| | |||
Uno due tre | |||
Well if you don't like it | |||
Go ahead, find yourself a saint | |||
Go ahead now, | |||
Try to find a boy | |||
Who's gonna be all the things I ain't | |||
What you need is | |||
A plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint | |||
Who's gonna sit through the madness | |||
And always act so quaint | |||
Oh yeah yeah yeah | |||
With your new friends | |||
You're really making a scene | |||
I've seen you bouncing around | |||
From machine to machine | |||
And you know | |||
They're never real | |||
They're never what they seem | |||
And you can try to generate some warmth | |||
And you'll see just what I mean | |||
Oh yeah yeah yeah | |||
And if I'm acting like a king | |||
Well, that's 'cause | |||
I'm a human being | |||
I want too many things | |||
And that's 'cause I'm a human being | |||
And if I've got to dream | |||
I said well | |||
I'm a human being | |||
And if it gets to be obscene, yeah | |||
I'm a human being | |||
And I just go around | |||
With my head hung down | |||
Just like a human being | |||
And all those human beings | |||
I can hold my head so high | |||
Just like a human, I'm a riff raff human being | |||
Won't you give me a little sip | |||
Why don't you try me on a drag of that cigarette | |||
Why don't you try to give me something that | |||
I'll never ever forget | |||
But now don't you blow it all | |||
On a million dollar bet | |||
Because you're liable to lose it | |||
On the best lovin' you've had yet 1 | |||
Oh yeah yeah yeah | |||
And if I'm acting like a king | |||
Well that's 'cause | |||
I'm a human being | |||
And if I want too many things | |||
That's 'cause I'm a human being | |||
And if I've got to dream | |||
I said well | |||
I'm a human being | |||
And if it gets to be obscene, yeah | |||
I'm a human being | |||
And I just go around | |||
With my head hung down | |||
Just like a human being | |||
And all those human beings | |||
I can hold my head so high | |||
Just like a human, I'm a riff raff human being | |||
In fact I'm talking about the human race | |||
Trying to cover up the big disgrace | |||
Yeah yeah yeah | |||
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah | |||
Well I may think that this whole scene is | |||
Too appalling for me | |||
Or I may be the type who is just a-mad about | |||
Everything that I see | |||
But I can't cover this with history | |||
Or make it just what I want it to be | |||
I'm blowing my change on the fan magazines | |||
With all the Hollywood refugees | |||
Said yeah yeah, oh yeah | |||
And If I'm acting like a king | |||
That's 'cause | |||
I'm a human being | |||
And if I want too many things | |||
That's 'cause I'm a human being | |||
And if I've got to dream | |||
I said well, | |||
I'm a human being | |||
And if it gets to be obscene, yeah | |||
I'm a human being | |||
