White Boys And Heroes Lyrics

We’re in the movies
We’re heroes
We sparkle at night

Love among puppets
And one day
I’ll pull all the strings

White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
See boys say I’m mayhem

Was my wife the doctor
The patient
Or something obscene

A history of nothing
Like a see-through song in disguise

Heroes are tough
And have no time
For women and boys

I won’t cry
Till this thing is over
And someone agrees

White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
See boys say I’m mayhem

White boys and heroes
We have no time for celebration
We have no time left at all
White boys and heroes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a strange one. Is this about the psychology of male supremacy ?
