Soul of a Man

I'm bad news, a
 Black and blue-ser
 Who's a loser
 A merry-go-round spiraling down
 I'm all used up
 Chafed and chewed-up
 Who's just screwed up
 The same old Charlie hitting 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 man
 That I looked up to
 What else could I do?
 Stupid hubris
 No excuses
 I blew my fuses
 I guess I'm a ruse in my father's shoes
 Not amusing, no confusing
 This streak of losing
 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
 Unsteady 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? (Soul of a man)
 I'll never be
 No I'll never be
 I have gone and let you down
 Oh, soul, soul of a man
 Here comes that familiar sound
 Same old Charlie hitting the ground
