Man (Opposable Thumb) Lyrics

I'm being hassled by the man
The man
The man
The man
Man
Crush a killer with a thigh bone
Man
You call the cable, make a cozy home
Man
You need a rock 'n' roll singer
Man
You gotta thumb and a finger.....
You got aposable thumb
Aposable thumb
Aposable thumb
I got one!
Aposable thumb
Aposable thumb
Aposable thumb
(Check it out!)
I got one!
Yeah! 1973!
Post '76, Ahhhhhhhh!
One time a was a
Man
Crush a killer with a rock
Man
Ten millon years until you talk
Man
Are you a cruncher and a moner?
Man
All you can manage is a boner....

You got aposable thumb
Aposable thumb
Aposable thumb
Well, I got one!
Aposable thumb
Aposable thumb
Aposable thumb
I got one!
Alright...yeah, arh!.. arrrrhhh!
Man
You gotta learn to drive a big rig
Man
You lose your hair, you wear a tiny wig
Man
You got something against me
Man
You're gonna have to try and kill me
If you wanna be a man
If you wanna be a man
If you wanna be a man
If you wanna be a man
You gotta wanna be a man
You gotta wanna be a man
You gotta wanna be a man
You gotta wanna be a man
I got one of those opposable thumbs....

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
