Album: The Silver Cord
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
You are so naive
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 cliche 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
You are so naive
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!
Just a man, Just a man!
