Xtc - Merely A Man lyrics

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!

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!

And you know it's true. That with logic and love we'll be lifting

humanity higher! Higher!

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!

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?

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!

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!

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!

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!
