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 cliches 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
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
I once held the key
To everything you ever dreamed
And 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
