Merely a Man

[Verse 1]

Higher, I'm a king, yes, I'm a head of state

But I'm the kitchen boy who'll wash your dirty plate

I had no message and the message was

We're all Jesus, Buddha and the Wizard of Oz

[Chorus 1]

I'm merely a man and I bring nothing but love for you

I'm merely a man and I want nothing that you can't do

[Post-Chorus]

And you know it's true that with logic

And love we'll be lifting humanity higher, higher

[Verse 2]

I'm all religious figures rolled into one

Gaddafy Duck propelled from Jimmy Swaggart's tommy gun

Don't promise rainbows with some golden pot

In fact what I can offer, I know you've already got

[Chorus 2]

I'm merely a man and I bring nothing but love for you

I'm merely a man and I want nothing that you can't do

[Post-Chorus 2]

And you know it's true that with logic

And love we'll have power enough

To raise consciousness up

And for lifting humanity higher, higher

[Post-Chorus 3]

And you know it's true, we should chase superstition

And fear from our hearts if we're going to survive

And take levels of sanity higher, kick it up, higher

[Chorus 3]

I'm merely a man and I bring nothing but love for you

I'm merely a man and I want nothing that you can't do

I'm merely a man and I bring nothing but love for you

I'm merely a man and I want nothing that you can't do

[Post-Chorus 4]

And you know it's true that with logic

And love we'll have power enough

To raise consciousness up

And for lifting humanity higher
