Artist: soul asylum
Song: fearless leader
Album:
Jesus was a hippie
Peace and love was all He was about
That's why they killed Him
'Cause that shit's something people can't figure out
Now some folks who worship Him
Are the ones who would have cheered at the crucifixion
They got no conviction
It doesn't matter if the Man was fact or fiction
But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
'Cos heroes will never let you down
Just as long as they're dead
Satan is a feeling
Deviance, it lurks in everyone
Guilty pleasures
And mischievous behavior can be fun
But no one made you do it
Nobody but yourself to blame
It's always at your door
And trouble is its name
But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
'Cos heroes will never let you down
Just as long as they're dead
Sometimes you gotta pick and choose
Sometimes no matter what you lose
Nixon was a liar
It's the one thing believed to be true
Tricky Dick was not a crook
Whatever that means, whatever presidents do
But money can't buy you children
And nothing can bring them back to you
We all make mistakes
We all need someone to look up to
But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
'Cos heroes will never let you down
Just as long as they're dead
