Tuna Boogie

Well I wish that I'da been born a stone
Stead I'm stuck with these fragile bones
I'd tell you the story of the skies and the seas
I'd be disconcerned with humanity
Oh just to be a little fly on the wall
I'd have a front row seat to watch mankind fall

Mama earth I like your work please understand (oh mama)
I take what you give me, and I do what I can
But in this life I ended up a man

But I coulda been an old dog out on the stoop
You could scratch my head while I love on you
I wouldn't be caught neath the weight of it all
Just say my name and I'd head the call
Yes I shoulda been just another fish in the sea
Someday I'll make my way upstream

I said mama, please understand (oh mama)
You deal the cards, and I'll play the hand
But why'd you have to go and make me a man?

Well this human condition is a sight to behold
You go into work and then you head back home
Workin your way to the house on the hill
You can't slow down and you can't stand still
Yes I wish that I'da been born a stone
Cause they were here before you and they'll be here when you're gone

I said mama, please understand (oh mama)
I take what you give me, and I do what I can
You deal the cards, and I'll play the hand
But why'd you have to go and make me a man?
Oh yeah, ooh, I can't comprehend
Why in this life I ended up a man
