Classic Crime, The - Just A Man Lyrics






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 naïve.
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 cliché 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!

    "I know that my faults bring me down, it's a constant battle
    Thats 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 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"

    Holy shit where was this song when I needed it

    I used to stretch myself so thin trying to help people who would just take and take and take and man, it's exhausting.

  2. S.... P....

  6. C.... ....

  8. A.... B....

    If this isn't the best song on the best album by the best band, then I don't know anything about anything.

  9. W.... ....

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  10. C.... ....

    I dont have a problem with other's debating... isnt my business unless I make it mine.. it would bother me though if someone tried to shut me down on a public forum for just conversing (that being said I know ppl are animals in those fights usually)

  11. S.... ....

    You forgot the Muslims! *feels left out*
    Lol~ I absolutely adore this song and this band.

  12. T.... ....

  22. J.... ....

    @Sindri44 HELL FUCKING NO! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN DONT READ THE FUCKING COMMENTS!!!

  23. K.... B....

    You know what I love? That The Classic Crime can be christian and not make a huge deal to praise God in all their songs. They aren't Amy Grant, listen to the music, love the music, accept the fact that your mind has been blown.

  24. J.... ....

    @JerseyRomance then GTFO

  25. D.... A....

    cant we seriously leave religion out of this ... so sick of hearing about god

  26. E.... H....

    This song means to me that we are just ppl nothing more. and the man in the song once had everything he thought he wanted but saw something better, God, and feels bad for leading ppl astray

  27. R.... T....

    I like this band because their music shows the depth of the sinfulness of both individuals and the world, and doesn't end there. It extends the story to how God is always ready to start a relationship with us, and pull us out of our foolish ways.

  28. J.... ....

    I love the guitar thumbs up if you agree

  29. F.... C....

    ahh i love this song and love god yay go music and god together! lol

  30. T.... ....

    god rocks

  31. M.... W....

    @Dontsaltthekitty well. they only deny it out of respect for robbie and alan who are not christian peeps in the band. the songs matt writes , he says, alot of them are based on his faith they write christian songs but he said they dont really get what "christian band" means cuz a band doesnt have one soul to call christian you know? so....yeah.

  32. k.... ....

    @Dontsaltthekitty the band might not be labeled as christian but if you listen to the lyrics half of their songs are about Jesus.

  33. R.... W....

    @Dontsaltthekitty They are christian if you listen to the words.....

  34. m.... ....

    I agree with stubbynator. If you want to bully christians over a stupid song then you need to get a life.

  35. c.... ....

    my favorite song is coldest heart :) best song ever

  36. S.... S....

    Augh! ^__^ I love this band! I just found it : D

  37. J.... B....

    This is one of my favorite songs of THE CLASSIC CRIME! i love their BAND NAME it sounds cool :)

  38. S.... ....

    interesting comments.... anyways nice song
    xD

  39. F.... ....

    Yes, they are Christian :) but you should read epicquail's comment.

  40. B.... ....

    man these guys are going to go far, i can;t wait to hear their songs in the future

  41. N.... ....

    yep that sound right. but they obviously cant sing anything bad because the singer wont sing it and the songwriter wont write it. All christian songs dont have to be about god, just look at fm static

  42. B.... H....

    This is pretty much my favorite song right now. c:

  43. B.... H....

    I agree. I'm tired of good bands being compared to Twilight. It's one of the crappiest books I've read in a long while, and it almost makes me angry that decent books are hardly recognized.

  44. t.... ....

    Andrew Wommack has an awesome message about are we just men or more than that. I love this song and the message by Andrew Wommack. You can listen to it for free on his webpage. Under Extras - Audio Teachings - How To Deal With Temptation and the teaching I am referring to is called - Who Do You Think You Are. Awesome Message. Check It Out!

  45. M.... ....

    stars is on SF's fifth album not their 2nd. . . . .

  46. S.... A....

    i agree with it

  47. L.... F....

    the lyrics in the 2nd verse remind me of whats happening in my life right now. my "friend" is lying to so many ppl & giving 5 diff ppl half the story. none of those halves are similar eitherr. it duznt add up. im tired of her.

  48. b.... ....

    Looks like a glass of water, in which blood has been dropped into and is spreading through out the water. And then there is a plate of flame above it. What it means or symbolises i have no ideas

  49. J.... ....

    okay, they may not be a "christian band" but that does not change the fact that "(the) lyrics are very positive and hopeful..." (Quote from Matt, of TCC.) Wheather they are christian or not, the have great lyrics that people can apply to there lives in a positive way. And also they have good music. Good music seems to be gettig harder to find these days. Lets take it at that, The Classic Crime is a good band

  50. s.... ....

    Their Not a Christian band their just a Rock band. Out of the five memebers in the band only three are christian. Also Matt The Vocalist said in a interview with smartpunk that he dosen't like the christian music industy.

  51. b.... f....

    sk8ter yes they are even cehck outthere myspace they talk about there christian believes and trust and love for God

  52. s.... ....

    they aren't christian so why would they do a song about God?

  53. G.... ....

    what is the name of this album.

  54. G.... ....

    what is the name of this album.

  55. G.... A....

    dude, I'll be the happiest man alive if you put up Medisin and God and Drugs!!

  56. G.... A....

    this song meakes me very happy! all the new songs are incredibly amazing! new album is flawless

  57. M.... ....

    I love this song so much! I love this band so much!
