Lyrics
This is my generation,
so full of s**t,
I'm full of s**t
What have I done today?
Made myself sick, make myself sick
Probably ought to quit
I know I need to quit
But my best friend's a disease
My best friend's a disease
giving it up would be like giving up on me
and I just can't, not yet
I just can't, not yet
Beause I'm a man-made woman
I'm a man-made woman
I'm a man-made woman
yes, I am
This is the cross I bear
the way I do my hair
These are the clothes I wear
the pretty clothes I wear
These are the pills I take
The pills that make me better I swear
But my best friend's a disease
My best friend's a disease
Giving it up would be like giving up on me
and I just can't not yet
I just can't not yet
Because I'm a man-made woman
I'm a man-made woman
I'm a man-made woman
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
