The Classic Crime - Just A Man lyrics

rate me

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!" you scream, (advertise, advertise!)

"Purchase my lifestyle!"

I once held the key but now I have nothing,

And 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,

And you were 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!
