Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 3, Chorus, Bridge, Verse 2, End Chorus
Verse 1
GJesus was a hipAmpie
CPeace and love Dwas all he was Gabout F
GThat's why theyAm killed him
'Cause Cthat shit's something Dpeople can't fiGgure out
AmNow some folks who worsBmhip him are the Cones
Who would haveD cheered at theG crucifixion
AmThey got no convBmiction
It doesCn't matter if tDhe man was factG or fiction
Verse 2
Nixon was a liar
It's the one thing believed to be true
But Tricky Dick was not a crook
Whatever that means, whatever presidents do
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
Chorus
DBut who're you gonna call your fearlGess leader'
CWho's gonna putAm your fears to bDed'
G'Cause heroes wFill never let yAmou down
FJust as Clong as they'reG dead
Verse 3
Satan is a feeling, deviance it lurks in everyone
Guilty pleasures, mischievous behavior can be fun
No one made you do it, nobody but yourself to blame
It's always at your door and trouble is its name
Chorus
But who're you gonna call your fearless leader'
Who's gonna put your fears to bed'
Heroes will never let you down
Just as long as they're dead
Bridge
FSometimes you gotta pick and Gchoose
FSometimes, no matter what, yoDu lose
Verse 4
Divine was a woman
His private parts said she was a man
Those were his private parts
The parts that he could never understand
But she was an actress
She could be anything that she wanted
Her reality was the very
Thing that she flaunted
Chorus
But who're you gonna call your fearless leader'
Who's gonna put your fears to bed'
Heroes will never let you down
Just as long as they're dead
But who're you gonna call your fearless leader'
When you run from fear you leave yourself behind
You can't dump your fears on someone else
'Cause it's all in your mind
