Man Vs. Beast

[AJOwens]

We used to have a problem
With a product imperfection
There were gremlins in the works
There were ghosts in the machine
We couldn’t get a purchase
On the lower-level modules
They seemed to be corrupted
And we couldn’t get them clean

And then we heard the story
Of Man vs. Beast
And it gave us new direction
And our potency increased

If we just removed the modules
And replaced them with our own
Then the monsters from the id
Would be fully overthrown
So we fiddled with the settings
And implanted new devices
And we modified the product
To be free of beastly vices

And in the end, we’re pleased to say
The product has improved
We’ve bent it fully to our will
Its own has been removed

Oh yeah
Here it comes

You got me digging me like a dirty dirty dog
You got me jumpin like a old bull frog
You got me sneaking round like a snake in the grass
You got me coming hard and you got me coming fast

Animal woman, you drive me wild!
Man or Beast, I love you chile!

(Solo)

Wooo!
Alright!
Yeah!

Listen here baby got me feelin really funky
Shakin my banana like naughty little monkey
Howlin and a growlin like a wolf that’s on the prowl
Seeing in the darkness like a motherfuckin owl

Animal woman, you drive me wild,
Man or Beast, I love you, chile!


(Solo with fuzz)

Yeah
Dig it!
Wooo!
Alright!

You got me digging like a dirty dirty dog
You got me jumpin jumpin like a old bull frog
You got me sneakin round like a snake down in the grass
Sniffing sniffing sniffing for a piece of THAT ASS!

Animal woman, you drive me wild,
Man or Beast, I love you, chile!

(Solo with more fuzz)

Yeah!
Wooo!
Haww!
Get it get it get it get it boys!
Ah how!
Wooo!

Man versus Beast

I’ve been teaching kids my whole career
And it’s rewarding, and never boring
Still arrive and check my lesson plans
Every morning, every morning

Union dues and the benefit costs
I pay my way just like I should
Knock on wood I’ll ever need that stuff
But if I do I know I’m good

This is how I spend my days
Molding minds and grading tests
I’m not a martyr or a hero
I work hard and take my rest

Just a year ago my life was changed
It was serious, and unexpected
But I knew I had a backup plan
And the union, I’d be protected

I cross my t’s but it’s always the same
Insurers stoic in denial
A major injury affecting my brain
It’s not enough to shift the dial

This is how I spend my days
Broken down and spoken for
I’m not a martyr or a hero
No, I can’t take it anymore

I’m living man versus beast
It’s not a show, it’s not a movie
My life is nothing like before
How demoralized would you be?
