lyrics

We worship our heroes
We worship ourselves
We worship a busy day and trophies on the shelves

Our hero's sick
That's his whole shtick
We swallow that pill and we follow him still
It's always just news to click

You love his work though
I loved it too
But where is the line between the art, the men, and what they do?

The area's grey
That's what you say
He thought that as well, so he raped someone else
and said "wait, it's okay, I'm gay"

The press goes wild
The man exiled
We all congratulate ourselves

But they'll release a new track
or slip in through a crack
and in a few years they'll have their lives and families back

Our heroes stink
Just what I think
I'd rather go blind or out of my mind
than click on another link
