The Man That Never Was (from "Sound City" - Original Soundtrack) - Rick Springfield/Dave Grohl/Taylor Hawkins/Nate Mendel/Pat Smear

I can't say that I like her manners

I can't say that I like her face

Carved up on a silver platter

Served warm she's a real head case

I won't wait for an invitation

I can't stay for the sacrifice

I won't die as an unknown soldier

I won't even try

Sometimes you make me play the fool

Sometimes you use me like a tool

You are the whip that drives the mule

And I bring the goods right back to you

You break my back

You break my balls

You break my heart

Just because

Sometimes you make me feel like

Just like the man that never was

Just like

Just like

Just like the man that never was

I drown in a mixed emotion

Washed up on a foreign shore

Face down in the salty ocean

Meet me there I don't care

Anywhere is no where

I fly right and I know she loves me

I fly wrong and I'm DOA

I'm bombed out like an old cathedral

And I'm blown away

Sometimes you make me play the fool

Sometimes you use me like a tool

You are the whip that drives the mule

And I bring the goods right back to you

You break my back

You break my balls

You break my heart

Just because

Sometimes you make me feel like

Just like the man that never was

Just like

Just like

Just like the man that never was

Just like

Just like

Just like the man that never was

Made your mark then

Nice to know you

You were never loved

We have so much more in common

Just like

Just like

Just like the man that never was

Just like the man that never was

Just like

Just like

Just like the man that never was

I am

I am

I am the man that never was
