Lyrics
Just a Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dripping wet with practiced sincerity,
Cute slogans for intangible mysteries.
You reduce your god (pruned to profit your ego)
To a TV commercial,
"Buy what I sell! (advertise, advertise!)" you scream,
"Purchase my lifestyle!"
I once held the key, but now I have nothing.
And you are so naïve,
I'm sorry for leading you along.
I'm just a man.
I'm just a man.
I'm just a man.
Wake me up and wipe the cliché from my eyes,
It's killing me when all I see is hypocrisy and lies.
I know that my faults bring me down, it's a constant battle.
That's why I have to be honest with you now.
I'm not your saint, I'm not your savior.
I once held the key, but now I have nothing.
And you are so naïve,
I'm sorry for leading you along.
I'm just a man.
I'm just a man.
I'm just a man.
I once held the key
To everything you ever dreamed of.
Now I have nothing,
I'm sorry for leading you along.
I'm just a man.
I'm just a man.
I'm just a man.
