lyrics

Here comes Mr. Christmas Tree
He’s got more medals than you can believe
He’s a killer, just a real go getter
No one else can throw around their weight quite better
His wife lives the silver screen
Brings her own paparazzi, demands to be seen
Sold porn of herself for women’s rights
And blind spot politics keep her up most nights

Oh, you can see all their bones right through their skin
Hot air doesn’t mean too much at the weigh-in

Paper-thin heroes
Protect this land
Paper-thin heroes
Are getting out of hand

A flea market con artist
Don’t you know what part of town this is?
With a paintbrush-stroke, frown kiss
You’ll find his wares are the cheapest
Rattling off conspiracies
Peddling pills to refugees
On the hit lists for top agencies
And next week you can watch his mini-series

Oh, their bones are poking holes right through their skin
Hot air never means too much at the weigh-in

Nobody’s hero
Get away from here
Nobody’s hero
A new one appears

Another big talk, hot shot
Only gets high when you get got
To be correct is to be heard
Takes credit for being one-hundred-third
But talent doesn’t really match their ego
A pixelated face in video
Lost in lyrics no one knows
A facsimile of a hero

Oh, their bones are poking holes right through their skin
Hot air never means too much at the weigh-in

You were my hero
Not lacking in nerve
You were my hero
Did I get what I deserve?

Won’t a villian save us from paper-thin heroes? (All cut from the same cloth)
