Soul Asylum Slowly Rising / Fearless Leader song lyrics

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
