Merely A Man - Lyrics by Xtc


Lyrics
Higher!  I'm a king, yes, I'm a head of state.  But I'm the kitchenboy who'll wash your dirty plate.  I had no message and the messagewas, we're all Jesus, Buddha, and the Wizard of Oz!  I'm merely a man and I bring nothing but love for you.  I'm merely aman and I want nothing that you can't do!  And you know it's true.  That with logic and love we'll be liftinghumanity higher!  Higher!  I'm all religious figures rolled into one, Gaddafy Duck propelledfrom Jimmy Swaggart's tommy gun.  Don't promise rainbows with somegolden pot,  In fact what I can offer I know you've already got!  I'm merely a man and I bring nothing but love for you.  I'm merely aman and I want nothing that you can't do?  And you know it's true.  That with logic and love we'll have powerenough to raise consciousness up and for lifting humanity higher!
Higher! And you know it's true. We should chase superstition and fear fromour hearts if we're going to survive and take levels of sanity higher!
Kick it up... Higher! I'm merely a man and I bring nothing but love for you. I'm merely aman and I want nothing that you can't do! And you know it's true. That with logic and love we'll have powerenough to raise consciousness up and for lifting humanity higher!
