[Verse 1]
Well, my name is a number
A piece of plastic film
And I'm growing funny flowers
In my little window sill
Don’t you know I'm a 2,000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
Well my wife still respects me
I really misused her
I am having an affair
With the Random computer
Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all

[Chorus]
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy, proud of your sun

[Verse 2]
Oh daddy, your brain's still flashing
Like it did when you were young
Or do you come down crashing
Seeing all the things you'd done
All was a big put on

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
And you know who's the 2000 man
And your kids they just won't understand you at all

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
