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!
