Soul Asylum - Fearless Leader lyrics

Jesus was a hippie, peace and love was all he was about

That's why they killed him, cause that sh*t'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

But 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 it's name

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader

Who's gonna put your fears to bed

Sometimes you gotta pick and choose

Sometimes no matter what you lose

Divine was a woman whos' 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

But 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
