so you wanna be a hero kid well whoop dee doo
i've been around the block before
with blockheads just like you
each and everyone a disappointment
pain ow for which there ain't no ointment
so much for excuses though a
pray my answer is two words
gods
i've given up hope that someone would come along
a fellow who ring the bell for once not the gong
the kind who wins trophies won't settle for loafies
at least sell my trophies but no i get the
i've been out the pasture pal my ambition's gone
content to spend lazy days in to graze my lawn
but you need an adviser a sainter but wiser
a good merchandiser but oh there goes my ulcer
i'm down to one last hope and i hope it's you
though kids you're not exactly a dream come true
i've trained enough turkeys who never came through
you're my one last hope and you'll have to do
demigards had faced the odds and ended up a mockery
don't believe the stories
that you read on all the crockery
to be a true hero kid is a dying art
like painting a masterpiece
it's a work of heart it takes more than sin
you comes down to what's in you
you have to continue to grow
now that's more like it
i'm down to one last shot and my last high note
before that blasted underworld gets my goat
my dreams are on you kid
go make them come true
climb that uphill slope
keep pushing that envelope
you're my one last hope and kid it's up to you
