Tuna Boogie Lyrics

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

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

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

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
