Look at history, open the books
There are statues with great looks
There are Gods, there are Kings
I'm pretty sure I'm the same thing
I'm beyond boundaries, beyond rules
I've been taught in the best schools
There is little I won't do
Is the same thing true of you?
I am needing so much more
Every pleasure is a bore
I am something other than
A common man
I'm not a common man
I do suspect I'm one of few
I can show you something new
All the constraints, they are long gone
I confess no interest in right or wrong
I am needing so much more
Every pleasure is a bore
I am something other than
A common man
I'm not a common man
I am greedy
You're a whore
What's the difference?
Who's keeping score?
There's no reason to be fair
Doesn't matter if you're not there
Are you losing too much blood?
Let it flow, let it flood
Just keep breathing if you can
And you will see
I'm not a common man
I am needing so much more
Every pleasure is a bore
I am something other than
A common man
I'm not a common man
I am needing so much more
Every pleasure is a bore
I am something other than
A common man
I'm not a common man
Look at history, open the books
There are statues with great looks
There are Gods, there are Kings
I'm pretty sure I'm the same thing
I'm beyond boundaries, beyond rules
I've been taught in the best schools
There is little I won't do
Is the same thing true of you?
I am needing so much more
Every pleasure is a bore
I am something other than
A common man
I'm not a common man
I do suspect I'm one of few
I can show you something new
All the constraints, they are long gone
I confess no interest in right or wrong
I am needing so much more
Every pleasure is a bore
I am something other than
A common man
I'm not a common man
I am greedy
You're a whore
What's the difference?
Who's keeping score?
There's no reason to be fair
Doesn't matter if you're not there
Are you losing too much blood?
Let it flow, let it flood
Just keep breathing if you can
And you will see
I'm not a common man
I am needing so much more
Every pleasure is a bore
I am something other than
A common man
I'm not a common man
I am needing so much more
Every pleasure is a bore
I am something other than
A common man
I'm not a common man
