You were yesterday's hero An ordinary man of flesh and blood Took the World on your shoulders A hopeless crusade, and act of love
But it's a world obsessed with religion And now you wear the face of a god Like the words you said, you're as good as dead Just a work of art on the wall

Holy men talk of hunger While standing beneath a cross of gold And there are preachers on the TV In their thousand dollar suits, who sell your soul
