[Verse 1]
I had a lovely brunch with Jesus Christ
He said, "Two words about inanity: fundamental Christianity," yeah
The food was very nice
But then, He had to go and die for my sins and stick my ass with the check
[Chorus]
"Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy."
(Go near an open window and that'll be the end of me)
[Verse 2]
I bowed before the avatar
He said, "The problem's clear to me: you never got over Morrissey," yeah
I said, "Well, right you are!"
"It's so much harder to be underfed than under-understood," he said, yeah
[Chorus]
"Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy."
(Go near an open window and that'll be the end of me)
[Verse 3]
I went to see Kip Winger!
He said, "In my day we knew how to party; bands today, c'mon, not hardly."
He had a back-up singer (doo doo doo doo)
He said, "The metal scene is a disgrace
But I ain't got no dog in that race!"
[Chorus]
"Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy."
(Go near an open window and that'll be the end of me)
[Bridge]
Don't despair, your mother loves you
Don't be proud because she has to
Don't despair, your mother loves you
Don't be proud, she's gotta
[Outro]
Just because it's meta doesn't make it any betta!
