Original Broadway Cast Recording - The Soul of a Man lyrics

I'm bad news, a black and blues-er Who's a loser, a merry-go-round spiraling down I'm all used up I'm, chaffed and chewed up Who's just screwed up, the same old Charlie hitting the ground Cause I'll never be the soul of a man, noble and wise Like the soul of a man who lifted me high Like the soul of a man, heroic and true Like the soul of a man I looked up to What else could I do Stupid Hubris, no excuses I blew my fuses, I guess I'm just a ruse in my fathers shoes Not amusing, no confusing this streak of losing Totally brutal and useless too How can I be the soul of a man, noble and wise Like the soul of a man who lifted me high Soul of a man, heroic and true Like the soul of a man that I looked up to What else could I Just when I'm reaching for that rung at the top I'm that broken heel unsteady, ready ready to drop When will I be the soul of a man, noble and wise Like the soul of a man who lifted me high Soul of a man, heroic and true Like the soul of a man that I looked up to What else could I do I'll never be, no I'll never be I have gone and let you down Whoa, soul, soul of a man Here comes that familiar sound Same old Charlie hitting the ground
