lyrics

where would I be without my lust
for a sun-drenched Saturday?
where would I be without my greed
to pull you close to me?
where would I be without my anger
at a world that’s got to change?
where would I be without these sins
made me who I am today?

a ripe Neanderthal
an evolving creature
I grow a little every day
it’s my mercurial nature

where would I be with Prudence?
I can’t find her in the magazines
and Faith and Hope and Charity
are lost inside that scene
how can I thrive on temperance?
good taste is an alien form
how can I fight for fairness
when justice ain’t the norm?

a hatching influenza
an evolving danger
I spread a little every day
it’s my mercurial nature

that little planet ‘round the sun
on a beeline, flying fast
but it’s taken me so long
to take myself to task
sins and virtues
help and hurt you
but I can’t understand
why it’s hard to be a man

sins and virtues
don’t desert you
but I can’t understand
why it’s hard to be a man
with a mercurial nature
