Bert Jansch - It Don't Bother Me

A Man I'd Rather Be

Now I wish I was a dog
Lazin' about all day
With the barks so loud and fierce
To keep the cats away
But a man's a man
And a dog's a slave
So man i would rather be

Now I wish I was a book
Upon a dusted shelf
With a millions of words to read
Lord but I can't even read myself
But a man's a man
And a book can't think
So man I would rather be

Now I wish I was a brick
In a middle of a wall
With a plastic coat and hat
I would have no cares at all
But a man's a man
And a brick won't talk
So man I would rather be

Now I wish I was a fly
A buzzin' around and around
Racin' through the air
With no spiders to be found
But a man's a man
And a fly get squashed
So a man I would rather be
