All eyes turned up to the hero
Charismatic icon animal man
Lyrical visionary caught in the spotlight
The more you make the more you get it right, right?

Oh nothing can stop you
And no one can bring you down
Don't give a thought to tomorrow
'Cause you're the man right now

And it doesn't matter what you say
'Cause they always find some meaning in it anyway
So you make them feel like they're a part of some big event
They'll be too busy cheering to wonder where your talent went

Oh they really need you, they got to have you
You're the only one who understands

Slender Messiah, God with a song, turned burned out wreck
Who stuck 'round too long
Tragic hero coming down hard
The jokes on you, you got played like a deck of cards

You're paying the price of the fame
Crushed under the weight of the flames
You're paying the price of the fame
Crushed under the weight of the flames
Yeah
Feel the backlash, watch the tables turn
Now you need them, see that fire burn

All eyes turned up to the hero
Worn out self-abusive circus freak
There's one thing that you might not know:
There'll be another messiah right here next week
