Merely a Man Songtext

von XTC

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Merely a Man" von XTC drückt die Idee aus, dass trotz unserer verschiedenen Rollen und Titel im Leben, wir...

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!
