Elephant, Man Lyrics

You came all the way to London to see me

You sailed all the way from the states

But no one on earth wants to be me

I suffer the cruelest of fates

You think I belong in a freak show

You act like I'm some hideous beast

But I'll prob'ly be dead in a week, so

I won't suffer you fools in the least

You treat me an animal

I won't become one

I'm not an animal

I am a someone

Treat me with dignity

Show me compassion

I'm a celebrity

after a fashion

I'm not an elephant

I'm not an elephant, man

I'm not an elephant

I'm not an elephant, man

I'm not an elephant

I'm not an elephant, man

I spend most of my time in this hospital bed

I'm sure this where I will die

And after I'm gone my story will spread

And it'll make you laugh, make you cry

You treat me like an animal

I won't become one

I'm not animal

I am a someone

I'm not a freak

I'm not a demon

I'm not a monster

I am a human

I'm not an elephant

I'm not an elephant

I'm not an elephant

I'm not an elephant

Maaaaaaaaan
