[Intro]
Ooh

[Verse 1]
Two roads diverged into a wood
I took neither, here I stood
Clenching my jaw, I made a fist out of my hand
You can sure waste a lot of time
Trying to be a man

[Verse 2]
I hugged a tree, I shed a tear (I hugged a tree, I shed a tear)
But I did it all while no one was here (No one was here)
Except my shadow who was making other plans
You can sure waste a lot of space
Trying to be a man

[Verse 3]
Oh, verbs and nouns and adjectives
Extracted as if through a sieve
Leaving out the flowery bits
The rind, the pulp, yеah, and the pips
Reduce it all down to thе juice
Trying to be a man

[Verse 4]
I score a goal, but I miss the point (I score a goal, but I miss the point)
My statement made, then I left the joint (I left the joint)
Opinions are like arseholes
I kept it clean, then I ran
You can suck the air out of a room
Trying to be a man
[Verse 5]
Opinions disguised as facts
And can I take the last one back?
Leaning so far that you fall, ooh
Oh, the thrill of it all
One step forward, one step back
Trying to be a man, oh
Oh

[Verse 6]
Two roads diverged into a wood
Oh, I took neither, here I stood
Grains of sand as they fall in through my hand
Oh, just watching time go by
Trying to be human
Trying to be human
Trying to be human

[Outro]
Trying to be human
Trying to be human
Trying to be human, man
