Verse 1

G5              A5
Jesus was a hippie
C5              D5              G5       F5
Peace and love was all he was about
G5              A5
That's why they killed him
       C5                     D5              G5
'Cause that shit's something people can't figure out

A5                     B5              C5
Now some folks who worship him are the ones
              D5              G5
Who would have cheered at the crucifixion
A5              B5
They got no conviction
       C5              D5              G5
It doesn't matter if the man was fact or fiction

Verse 2

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

Chorus

D5                                   G5
But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
C5              A5              D5
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
G5              F5              A5
'Cause heroes will never let you down
F5       C5              G5
Just as long as they're dead

Verse 3

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 its name

Chorus

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
Heroes will never let you down
Just as long as they're dead

Bridge

F5                            G5
Sometimes you gotta pick and choose
F5                            D5
Sometimes, no matter what, you lose

Verse 4

Divine was a woman
His 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

Chorus

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
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
