[Verse 1]
I find myself in wicked cress—I’m such a shitty mess
I’ll catch my bated breath and lose my fucking mind
Koffee for the Killerman—you need to understand
Psychopaths and sycophants are not a waste of time

[Chorus]
But all I know is heroes come and villains go
Just give the lunatic a chance
And all I know is something out is something old
I’ll never win, I’m just a man... but I don’t care

[Verse 2]
The deadly frost is in the green—you don’t know what I mean
You’ll find the Benzedrine can throw you off the edge
Who needs a therapist? Too bad I’m not convinced
God, I’m sick of this—just save yourself or I’ll be dead

[Chorus]
All I know is heroes come and villains go
Just give the lunatic a chance
All I know is something out is something old
I’ll never win—I’m just a man

[Verse 3]
The conflagration isn't yours—your Bible is a war
Once we've broken through, there’s nothing to protect
Fetal bullets make you weak—your tremors can’t compete
The human’s obsolete—what do you have left?

[Chorus]
All I know is heroes come and villains go
Just give the lunatic a chance
All I know is something out is something old
I’ll never win, I’m just a man

[Outro]
All I know is everywhere you come and go
There’s nothing new to understand
All I know is nowhere’s safe and no one’s home
I’ll never win, I’m just a man… but I don’t care
Black John is always there
