We're in the movies

We're heroes

We sparkle at night

Love among puppets

And one day

I'll pull all the strings

White boys and heroes

White boys and heroes

See boys, say I'm mayhem

Was my wife the doctor

The patient

Or something obscene

A history of nothing

Like a see through song in disguise

Heroes are tough

And have no time

For women and boys

I won't cry

Till this thing is over

And someone agrees

White boys and heroes

White boys and heroes

See boys, say I'm mayhem

White boys and heroes

We have no time for celebration

We have no time left at all

White boys and heroes

G. Webb, Jan '82
