Why are all our heroes so imperfect?
Why do they always bring me down?
Why are all our heroes so imperfect?
The statue in the park has lost its crown
William Faulkner, drunk and depressed
Dorothy Parker, mean, drunk and depressed
And that guy seven years in Tibet
Turned out to be a Nazi
The founding fathers all had slaves
The explorers slaughtered the braves
The Old Testament God could be so petty
Paul McCartney, jealous of John
Even more so now that he's gone
Dylan was so mean to Donovan
In that movie
Pablo Picasso cruel to his wives
My favorite poets took their own lives
Orson Welles peaked at 25
Alone before our eyes
And he sold bad wine
Why are all our heroes so imperfect?
Why do they always bring me down?
Heard that Ruth was full of malice
Lewis Carroll I'm sure did "Alice"
Plato in the cave with those very young boys
T.S. Eliot hated the Jews
F.D.R. didn't save the Jews
All the French joined the resistance
After the war
Raymond Chandler, drunk and depressed
Tennessee Williams, drunk and depressed
I think I'll just get drunk and depressed
