The Man (Live from Rockwood, NYC)

from Live and Alone in New York by Anya Marina

lyrics

I would be complex
I would be cool
They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
And that would be ok for me to do
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you

I'd be a fearless leader
I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What's that like?

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man, I'd be the man
I'd be the man
I'd be the man

They'd say I hustled
Put in the work
They wouldn't shake their heads
And question how much of this I deserve
What I was wearing, if I was rude
Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves
And we would toast to me, oh, let the players play
I'd be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man, I'd be the man
I'd be the man (la la la la . . . )
I'd be the man (la la la la . . . )
I'd be the man (la la la la . . . )
I'd be the man

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man, I'd be the man
I'd be the man (la la la la . . . )
I'd be the man (la la la la . . . )
I'd be the man (la la la la . . . )
I’d be the man (la la la la . . . )
Cause if I was a man
I’d be the man
