Nostradamus sits idly
With his head down in a book
Peers over to the T.V. with one eye and predicts
'We're outta luck'
He sees Kilroy turn to Jesus to remark
The king of kings you say?
Well with talk like that, you're off to join
All the heroes down the way
And there sat in the corner of the cell
James brown and Dr. King
And Thatcher listens eagerly
As they begin to sing
About when the KKK
Meet up and wait for dark
Then they put on their red robes and all go
Hunting in the park
Do you think we'll ever stop?
To reflect on what we've done?
Whilst Newton sits under his tree
And waits for the atom bomb
And when they start a-fallin'
And the lights they all switch off
Bush will turn to Blair in open stare and ask
'One more round of golf'?
With politicians and thieves
Who steal from the wishing-well
See Hitler turn to Gengus Khan to say
This world has gone to hell
Where you'll see Kermit the Frog and the devil
Shake hands as they make a deal
And superman can't save us now
'Cause we know that he ain't real
Na, heroes they're made up kid
As you flick through all you're old comics
Day dreaming of being a cowboy trailing through
Spaghetti western flicks
Like an outlaw who wears a dusty hat
And rides a noble horse
Taking on the bad guys alone
Oh well kid, could be worse
Like the Mona Lisa who shrugs
At everyone she sees
She says; 'why don't you all just go home and
Let me be in peace'?
And with that Da-Vinci threw
His brushes to the ground
And says; 'I hated painting anyway'
And gets up to leave this town
