White Boys and Heroes

We're in the movies

We're heroes

We sparkle at nightLove among puppets

And one day

I'll pull all the stringsWhite boys and heroes

White boys and heroes

See boys, say I'm mayhemWas my wife the doctor

The patient

Or something obsceneA history of nothing

Like a see through song in disguiseHeroes are tough

And have no time

For women and boysI won't cry

Till this thing is over

And someone agreesWhite boys and heroes

White boys and heroes

See boys, say I'm mayhemWhite boys and heroes

We have no time for celebration

We have no time left at all

White boys and heroesG. Webb, Jan '82
