whoa who do you believe, whoa do not be deceived

showered in adulation and praise

the hero of the day
he'll be the one to answer your prayers
as long as he gets paid


the hero is never quite what he seems
he'll rip you right under your nose

he'll be whatever you want him to be
as long as his bank account grows


whoa who do you believe, whoa do not be deceive

the blind devotion to second-hand gods

when will it all stop
when a cold blooded killer finally appears
on a Wheaties box


the hero is never quite what he seems
he'll rip you right under your nose

he'll be whatever you want him to be
as long as his bank account grows
the hero will tell you what you want to hear

he'll ease your trouble mind
a keen opportunist a slick profiteer
he counts on you being blind


media blitz off and running
it got this $#&@er billed as the second coming

hero of the day man of the hour
send cash in lieu of flowers


would you like to meet the man of the hour
this is your hero of the day [2x]


hero of the day

whoa hero for the day, whoa hero of the..

hero for the day
