I'm just a nihilist
So indecisive
Did the wrong degree
Because the money was enticing

But f*ck me I was young
I was just tryna avoid a crisis
Listening to my teachers
And addicted to devices

So I'm sat here writing songs
Just trying to unwind
Might go to see some monks
They could teach me peace of mind

And I'm damn hard
But this life is so unkind
Why is one man forgotten and the other gets enshrined

I don't wanna fall behind
I feel so confined
I worry about what I'll leave behind
I'm just a man in Mankind

Why do all my songs
Have to sound the fucking same
I lack artistic vision
And need to change my name

But I'm no David Bowie
And that's really quite shame
I'm looking up to Starman
That's where I'm tryna aim

Still sat here writing songs
Unable to unwind
I need those fucking monks
Or else this song falls out of time

And I'm trying damn hard
But my mental state's declined
Why is one man forgotten and the other gets enshrined

I don't wanna fall behind
I feel so confined
I worry about what I'll leave behind
I'm just a man in Mankind

I'll be sleeping on my pension
Just dreaming about the times
Where all I really wanted
Was just to make some rhymes

But then my eyes go wide
As I come to realise
That I'm sleeping on my own
No family to call home

And all you really are
Is a man in Mankind
Nobody stood beside you
No one to leave behind

I don't wanna fall behind
I feel so confined
I worry about what I'll leave behind
I'm just a man in Mankind
