Human Nature
If I were the president if only for one day
First I'd read opinion polls to tell me what to say
I'd tame my own convictions perhaps extend my stay
It's human nature
If I were an anchor man a network as my lair
Spend my lifetime polishing a style to get me there
Cookie cutter thinking for a minute on the air
It's human nature
Something all too common this pattern that I see
Something strangely natural's got you and me
If I were a film maker a little broke at that
Haunted by my childhood when the kids would call me fat
I'd find some controversy to make the world react
It's human nature
If I were a funny man famous for my schtick
Known to be outrageous on an anti-christian kick
Though somewhat less than confident it sure does get the chicks
It's human nature
Something all too common this pattern that I see
Something strangely natural's got you and me
's got everyone's ego
's got everyone's time
's got my bloody self-image
At the front of my mind
If I was a singer a little here and there
I'd eye that pile of royalties and cover my own share
Then write a song of warning and tell us all beware
Of human nature
Something all too common this pattern that I see
Something strangely natural 's got you and me
It's human nature
It's human nature
It's human nature
It's human nature
It's human nature
First I'd read opinion polls to tell me what to say
I'd tame my own convictions perhaps extend my stay
It's human nature
If I were an anchor man a network as my lair
Spend my lifetime polishing a style to get me there
Cookie cutter thinking for a minute on the air
It's human nature
Something all too common this pattern that I see
Something strangely natural's got you and me
If I were a film maker a little broke at that
Haunted by my childhood when the kids would call me fat
I'd find some controversy to make the world react
It's human nature
If I were a funny man famous for my schtick
Known to be outrageous on an anti-christian kick
Though somewhat less than confident it sure does get the chicks
It's human nature
Something all too common this pattern that I see
Something strangely natural's got you and me
's got everyone's ego
's got everyone's time
's got my bloody self-image
At the front of my mind
If I was a singer a little here and there
I'd eye that pile of royalties and cover my own share
Then write a song of warning and tell us all beware
Of human nature
Something all too common this pattern that I see
Something strangely natural 's got you and me
It's human nature
It's human nature
It's human nature
It's human nature
It's human nature
