Dear Heroes Lyrics

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
