I Can't Be Your Hero Today

It's never been the same, since you returned from dreaming

With your nursery rhyme excuses, your picture postcards gleaming

Telling everyone who looks your way, about people and their sinning

While your left field verse is falling in proportion to your winning

And I can't be your hero today

I'm through with the simple games you play

It just might take some time for me to even up the score

But I can't be your soldier home from war

And there you sit shouting, that there's still hope for us

While nature holds the handcuffs, on a Capricorn and Taurus

There's nothing you can do or say, to get me to your camp

Go fill up all your savings books and buy yourself a lamp

And I can't be your hero today

Your wholesale price is much too high to pay

A bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell love

And I can’t be your Superman above

No, I can’t be your hero today

That is all I really want to say

Go find a leading man who wants to play

And I can’t be your hero today
