Dear Heroes
With all due respect
To deified heroes living in my head
Messiah message, pasted on a jacket
Printed on cardboard and beaten to death
I gotta ask
Is there a single moment where the words you've spoken
Transcend the bullshit of another new fad
Doomed to the black of radical ideas
That died the moment they're had
You succeeded in a system that favors selfishness
And I find it real convenient that you ended up with this
Glamour
Decadence
An army of patrons
While not a thing you spoke about has moved a fucking inch
Let me ask Sir McCartney, cuz I can't ask Lennon
If love is all we need
Why can't it pay the rent
Imagine no possessions from a mansion on the beach
So easy for a billionaire to tell me Let It Be
Taking center-stage
I'm a rebel paradox
Cuz if I'm a fucking saint
I wouldn't be an artist
I'm a salesman
Coasting on the tails of renaissance
I'm naive
And arrogant
But I'm no anarchist.
I'm another rock hero
Taking the stage
In uniform and flashy effect
So what does this front of mine really protect
Another rock hero
Taking the stage
In uniform, flashy effect
What does this front of mine really protect
All my kings are dead
All my kings are dead
All my kings are dead
All my kings are dead
I'm pretty fucking sick of bowing down to hypocrites
With selfish dreams of influence disguised as altruist
As Superman rapes Lois Lane and comes out pedophile
I'm growing pretty literal about killing my idols
Like an underage girl that he's trying to fuck
Watch 'em sell you out when you're all used up
So let us bow down to he who's made it
To crown of thorns
Altar of shit
He's such a fucking hero
Taking the stage
In uniform
Flashy effect
What does that front of his really protect
You're such a fucking hero
Saving the day
Your uniform
Flashy effect
Both of us know what you fail to protect
So stay
Dead
Stay
Dead
Stay
Dead
Stay
Dead
Stay
Dead
Stay
Dead
Stay
Dead
Dear heroes, stay dead
To deified heroes living in my head
Messiah message, pasted on a jacket
Printed on cardboard and beaten to death
I gotta ask

Transcend the bullshit of another new fad
Doomed to the black of radical ideas
