Jesus  was a hippie
Peace  and love was  all he was about
That's  why they  killed him
 'Cause that  shit's something people  can't figure  out
Now  some folks who worship  him are the ones
 Who would have  cheered at the  crucifixion
They  got no conviction
 It doesn't  matter if the  man was fact  or fiction
 Nixon was a liar
 It's the one thing believed to be true
 But Tricky Dick was not a crook
 Whatever that means, whatever presidents do
 Money can't buy you children
 And nothing can bring them back to you
 We all make mistakes
 We all need someone to look up to
But  who're you gonna call your fearless  leader?
Who's  gonna put  your fears to bed?
'Cause  heroes will  never let you  down
Just  as long  as they're  dead
 Satan is a feeling, deviance it lurks in everyone
 Guilty pleasures, mischievous behavior can be fun
 No one made you do it, nobody but yourself to blame
 It's always at your door and trouble is its name
 But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
 Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
 Heroes will never let you down
 Just as long as they're dead
Sometimes  you gotta pick and choose
Sometimes,  no matter what, you  lose
 Divine was a woman
 His private parts said she was a man
 Those were his private parts
 The parts that he could never understand
 But she was an actress
 She could be anything that she wanted
 Her reality was the very
 Thing that she flaunted
 But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
 Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
 Heroes will never let you down
 Just as long as they're dead
 But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
 When you run from fear you leave yourself behind
 You can't dump your fears on someone else
 'Cause it's all in your mind
