The Classic Crime
"Just A Man"


Dripping wet with practiced sincerity,
Cute slogans for tangible 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!
