No Heroes

He was a monster all along
I guess that's why they say don't meet your heroes
But where does a monster really come from?
When no amount of rooting out
Will keep us from making another one

Power corrupts as power grows
Maybe we should have no heroes
So we look on the empty throne and think
What would they see if it was me in that seat
Most of us will never have to know

What about my Hollywood?
What about my fortune and fame?
Fill the sky with shooting stars
Just to watch them go down in flames

Out of the stardust she is born
Maybe she will be your hero
She'll battle the monster, or so we're told
When she's plucked from the crowd, and handed a crown
We tell her that our hopes are with her now

Send her off to Hollywood
Let her fight in Washington
Fill the sky with shooting stars
We just lost another one

Was she a monster all along?
Maybe we should have no heroes
