The pressure’s on
You got to make it happen
Deadline stares you in the face
Will you pull up, will you carry on?
The people around you
It seems like they have lost their faith

But it ain’t me
I’m just the message man
It ain’t me
‘Cause there’s no news at hand
I’m not the one
That’s come to set them free
It ain’t me
I’m just the message man

Late last night you called
You said that I’ll have to wait
Well you know that I’m under the gun
You say in time it will come
But I can’t help being scared
Because I know not what’s out there

But it ain’t me
I’m just the message man
It ain’t me
‘Cause there’s no news at hand
I’m not the one
That’s come to set them free
It ain’t me
I’m just the message man

We can’t help but feel unwanted
Being held up on a string
It was just a mistake
That somebody made
I guess it was just one
Of those business things
They’re not friends
They’re just a company
But it hurts me when I hear them say
‘Cause I wasn’t brought up that way
“What you done boy it ain’t through”
Well you know they don’t understand

But it ain’t me
I’m just the message man
It ain’t me
‘Cause there’s no news at hand
I’m not the one
That’s come to set them free
It ain’t me
I’m just the message man

It ain’t me
I’m just the message man
