Jimmy Buffett - I Can't Be Your Hero Today lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - I Can't Be Your Hero Today lyrics]
It's never been the same
Since you returned from dreamin'
With your nursery rhyme excuses
Your picture postcards gleamin'
Tellin' everyone who looks your way
'Bout people and their sinnin'
While you left field verse is fallin'
In proportion to your winnin'
And I can't be your hero today
I'm through with the simple games you play
It just may take some time for
Me to even up the score
But I can't be your soldier home from war
And there you sit shoutin'
That there's still hope for us
While nature holds the handcuffs
On a Capricorn and Taurus
There's nothing you can do or say
To get me to your camp
Go fill up all your savings books
And buy yourself a lamp
And I can't be your hero today
Your wholesale price is much to high to pay
A bargain basement atmosphere is no
Way to sell love
And I can't be your Superman above
No, I can't be your hero today
That is all I really want to say
Go find a leading man who wants to play
I can't be your hero today
Since you returned from dreamin'
With your nursery rhyme excuses
Your picture postcards gleamin'
Tellin' everyone who looks your way
'Bout people and their sinnin'
While you left field verse is fallin'
In proportion to your winnin'
And I can't be your hero today
I'm through with the simple games you play
It just may take some time for
Me to even up the score
But I can't be your soldier home from war
And there you sit shoutin'
That there's still hope for us
While nature holds the handcuffs
On a Capricorn and Taurus
There's nothing you can do or say
To get me to your camp
Go fill up all your savings books
And buy yourself a lamp
And I can't be your hero today
Your wholesale price is much to high to pay
A bargain basement atmosphere is no
Way to sell love
And I can't be your Superman above
No, I can't be your hero today
That is all I really want to say
Go find a leading man who wants to play
I can't be your hero today
