Name: Just A Man
Duration: P00H04M04S
Description: Total remake of a song off our original album, oh so many years ago. Felt the words were as valid as ever, but just needed a new musical vehicle to get the idea across. Original version took the victimhood route, but this tune strips it down, blends rock and blues, and lets you know that we aren't going down without swinging.

lyrics

I'm not a fighter jet
I'm not a submarine
Or a fancy sports car in the page of a magazine

I'll Tell you what I am

I'm not some real estate
I'm not a stock you trade
on the Wall Street express
Where lives are cheap and fortunes are made

I'll Tell you what I am

I'm Just a Man
At least I got my heart and soul
Apparently
Unwanted by the powers to be
I'm Just a Man
I still got a heart and soul
Just trying to be
Smarter than a Dinosaur

I'm not a pillar of strength
I'm not a shining white knight
Upon a horse of content
Preaching what is wrong or right

I'm not a fighter jet
I'm not a submarine
Sure as hell ain't the billions you spend
To feed those hungry war machines.
