Why are all our heroes so imperfect ?
Why do they always bring me down.. ?
Why are all our heroes so imperfect
The statue in the park has lost his crown
William Faulkner drunk and depressed
Dorothy Parker mean, drunk and depressed
And that guy in Seven Years in Tibet -turned out to be a Nazi
The founding fathers all had slaves,
the explorers slaughtered the braves,
The Old Testament God can be so petty..
Paul McCartney jealous of John
even more so now that he's gone
Dylan was so mean to Donovan in that movie..
Pablo Picasso cruel to his wives
My favorite poets took their own lives
Orson Welles peaked at 25,
ballooned before our eyes
And he sold bad wine..
Why are all our heroes so imperfect ?
Why do they always bring me down..
Heard Babe Ruth was full of malice
Lewis Carroll I'm sure did Alice
Plato in the cave with those very young boys
T.S. Eliot hated Jews,
FDR didn't save the Jews
All the French joined the resistance -after the war
Raymond Chandler drunk and depressed
Tennessee Williams drunk and depressed
I think I'll just get drunk and depressed..
Why do they always bring me down.. ?
Why are all our heroes so imperfect
The statue in the park has lost his crown
William Faulkner drunk and depressed
Dorothy Parker mean, drunk and depressed
And that guy in Seven Years in Tibet -turned out to be a Nazi
The founding fathers all had slaves,
the explorers slaughtered the braves,
The Old Testament God can be so petty..
Paul McCartney jealous of John
even more so now that he's gone
Dylan was so mean to Donovan in that movie..
Pablo Picasso cruel to his wives
My favorite poets took their own lives
Orson Welles peaked at 25,
ballooned before our eyes
And he sold bad wine..
Why are all our heroes so imperfect ?
Why do they always bring me down..
Heard Babe Ruth was full of malice
Lewis Carroll I'm sure did Alice
Plato in the cave with those very young boys
T.S. Eliot hated Jews,
FDR didn't save the Jews
All the French joined the resistance -after the war
Raymond Chandler drunk and depressed
Tennessee Williams drunk and depressed
I think I'll just get drunk and depressed..
