No Messiah

(album: Scream - 1994)

You want me a simple man
To lead you on to the Promised Land
So unreal don't you see
Behind the mask
There's a devil in me

I'm rolling thunder
I'm sun I'm shine
Slowly slipping under
I'm more than meets the eye

I love I hate
I swear I lie
I'm just like any other guy
I'm right I'm wrong
A prodigal son
Set souls on fire
I'm no messiah

And you won't like
What you'll find
Sometimes I've got a sick kind of mind
In these arms
You'll be sad
Cause I feel good when you're feeling bad

You see I'm complicated
Not just black and white
I'm devastated
You see I'm Jekyll and Hyde

I love I hate
I swear I lie
I'm just like any other guy
I'm right I'm wrong
A prodigal son
Set souls on fire
I'm no messiah
Oh no
I'm no messiah
No no, no no

If you step into my world, my friend
You'll find another part of me
Gotta sin to be saved
On the other side of life you'll see

You got it
You got it

I love I hate
I swear I lie
I'm just like any other guy
I'm right I'm wrong
A prodigal son
Set souls on fire

I win I loose
The naked truth
So hard to face
When you can't choose
I've never worn
A crown of thorns
I'm no messiah
No messiah
