I Can't Be Your Hero Today

It's never been the same since you returned from dreamin'

With your nursery rhyme excuses and your picture postcards gleamin'

Tellin' everyone who looks your way 'bout people and their sinnin'

While your left field verse is fallin' in proprtion to your winnin'

And I can't be your hero today

I'm through with the simple games you play

It just might take some time to even up the score

But I can't be your soldier home from war

And there you sit shining 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

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

But I can't be your hero today
