(+) Soul of a Man
I'm bad news a
Black and blueser
Who's a loser
A merry-go-round's spiralin' down
I'm all used up
I'm chafed and chewed up
Who's just screwed up
The same old Charlie hittin' the ground
'Cause I'll never be
The soul of a man
Noble and wise
Like the soul of a man
Who lifted me high
Like the soul of a man
Heroic and true
Like the soul of a man
That I looked up to
What else could I do?
Stupid hubris
No excuses
Blew my fuses
I guess I'm just a ruse in
My farther's shoes
Not amusin'
No confusin'
This streak of losin'
Totally brutal and useless too
How can I be
The soul of a man
Noble and wise
Like the soul of a man
Who lifted me high
Like the soul of a man
Heroic and true
Like the soul of a man
That I looked up to
What else could I
Just when I'm reaching for that rung at the top
I'm that broken heel unstready and ready, ready to drop
When will I be
The soul of a man
Noble and wise
Like the soul of a man
Who lifted me high
Soul of a man
Heroic and true
Like the soul of a man
That I looked up to
What else could I do?
I'll never be
No, I'll never be
I have gone and let you down
Oh, soul, soul of the man
Here comes that familiar sound
Same old Charlie hittin' the ground
