So tell me something, that might be true
No bedtime stories let me get a real look at you
'Cause where I'm standing there's too many veneers
Too many versions, too many crocodile tears

Said you didn't do it for the glory
You only did it for the King
Maybe you are just a person,
Yeah you're just a human being
Said every day is Sunday morning
And the prophets want everything
Said you didn't do it for the glory
Well isn't that a likely story

So if I take your word with a grain of salt
Please forgive me, not sayin' it's all your fault
But you've been acting so strange for awhile
A royal welcome walking a beggars mile

Said you didn't do it for the glory
Only did it for the King
Maybe you are just a person,
Don't have to be a super being
Said every day is Sunday morning
And the prophets run everything
Said you didn't do it for the glory
Well isn't that a likely story

So tell me something, that might be true
No bedtime stories let me get a real look at you

Said you didn't do it for the glory
Only did it for the King
Maybe you are just a person,
Yeah you're just a human being
Said every day is Sunday morning
And the prophets want everything
Said you didn't do it for the glory
Well isn't that a likely story
Well isn't that a likely story
