Heroes in Disgrace

Insurance on my car
From a shirtless lunatic
The best of British butter
From an ardent anarchist
Charming man in latter day thrills
Articulate bile in the Hollywood hills
I copied my demeanor from
A banged up psycho killer
A tattoo on my neck
Of a murderous guerrilla

Could have died young, your heroes in disgrace
Could have died young, your heroes in disgrace
It's death to all your idols of the past
You better hedge your bets 'cos nothing lasts

I got told by perished rebels
To always stand your ground
I got a black beret and some hand grenades
And I fired off a couple of rounds
Ryan Giggs in family affair
Johnny Depp domestic nightmare
I copied my demeanor from
A junkie feline killer
Half inched way of speaking from
A budget cockney thriller

Could have died young, your heroes in disgrace
Could have died young, your heroes in disgrace
Death to all your idols of the past
You better hedge your bets 'cos nothing lasts

Oh, nothing lasts
Oh, nothing lasts
Oh, nothing lasts
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
I built my life around you

Cecil Rhodes in diamond heist
Hero in horse dope sensation
Cricket ace in hotel sting
Elvis chokes on chicken wing

Could have died young, your heroes in disgrace
Could have died young, your heroes in disgrace
Death to all your idols of the past
You better hedge your bets 'cos nothing lasts

Oh, nothing lasts
Oh, nothing lasts
Oh, nothing lasts
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
I built my life around you
