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

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

Tell me 'bout it

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
To a man
To a man
That's what I am
