Role Models

I formed a moral compass
Because you forced me to
I'm kind of glad you did it
It didn't stick for you

I know the circumstances
I know your favorite tune
You can take it out one me
You always did
What else is new

It's okay if you call me selfish
You just mean I know what I want
Got used to the names anyway
We all did- heard them enough

You used to be so scary
You used to make me cry
You used to hurt my feelings
I wish I understood why

I wish I understood why
I wish I understood why
I wish I understood why

What ever happened to the good guys
'Cause I can't seem to find my old role models
And I can't
Understand what changed except the obvious
It's been a hard pill to swallow
(My role models)

Role models
Role models
(whatever happened to the good guys)
Role models
Role models
(Whatever happened to my)

Hey
Role models

Don't take it personal
You always told me that

Life consumes innocence
That's just the way
It's not that bad

I think that you're projecting
Can't you just get along
You can call me an idiot
If you feel like it
But you'll still be wrong

You're not a politician
You're not an acrobat
But the hoops that you jump through
Kind of make you look like you feel like that

I'm sick of the excuses
We're sick of all the lies
You're sick of telling truths
And I wish I understood why

I wish I understood why
I wish I understood why
I wish I understood why

What ever happened to the good guys
'Cause I can't seem to find my old role models
And I can't
Understand what changed except the obvious
It's been a hard pill to swallow
(My role models)

Role models
Role models
(whatever happened to the good guys)
Role models
Role models
(Whatever happened to my)

Hey
Role models

There's no body to erase
There's no demons left to chase

There's no happy ending
Waiting for you
Just over the hill

Only revolution
Execution
When your blood is spilled

There's no apathy
There's no ignorance
Everybody will be free

But you're so corrupting
That this pipe dream
Will never come to be

You stupid old fucks

Role models
Role models
(whatever happened to the good guys)
Role models
Role models
(Whatever happened to my)
