We're in the movies

We're heroes

We sparkle at night



Love among puppets

And one day

I'll pull all the strings



White boys and heroes

White boys and heroes

See boys say I'm mayhem



Was my wife the doctor

The patient

Or something obscene



A history of nothing

Like a see-through song in disguise



Heroes are tough

And have no time

For women and boys



I won't cry

Till this thing is over

And someone agrees



White boys and heroes

White boys and heroes

See boys say I'm mayhem



White boys and heroes

We have no time for celebration

We have no time left at all

White boys and heroes
