Lyrics Manimal - The Vandals

Manimal

I’m trying to be civilized and need you girl to realize
My higher mind runs counter to my procreative self
Although it’s not my doing, nature has its way insuring
That the species will be fruitful, no matter how I try to fight it
God’s the one who made me like this- understand I’m innocent
The drive is stronger than I am- I’m just a man, I’m just a man
She means nothing to me, I swear
I’m just pulled in two directions by the male condition
There’s no excuses, only reasons for what has brought us here
I need to make it clear, so you can understand
It’s part of nature’s plan.
I’m just a man, I’m just a man
It’s hard to do the right thing, the hormones screaming
Pleading- with the need to seed and no relief because there’s always more
One hundred million daily, manufactured and ready for the journey to conception
Not unlike a loaded gun
God’s the one who made me like this- understand I’m innocent
The drive is stronger than I am- I’m just a man, I’m just a man
She means nothing to me, I swear
I’m just pulled in two directions by the male condition
There’s no excuses, only reasons for what has brought us here
I need to make it clear, so you can understand
It’s part of nature’s plan.
I’m just a man, I’m just a man…
