Meetings With Remarkable Men (Show Me The Hero) Lyrics
I had a lovely brunch with Jesus Christ.
He said, "two words about inanity: fundamental Christianity."
The food was very nice.
But then He had to go and die for my sins and stick my ass with the check.
"Show me a hero and i�ll write you a tragedy,"
(Go near an open window and that�ll be the end of me).
I bowed before the avatar.
He said, "the problem�s clear to me: you never got over Morrissey."
I said "well, right you are!"
"It�s so much harder to be underfed than under-understood," he said.
I went to see KIP WINGER!
He said, "In my day we knew how to party; bands today, c�mon, not hardly." He had a back-up singer (doo doo doo doo).
He said, "The metal scene is a disgrace, but i ain�t got no dog in that race!" Don�t despair, your mother loves you. Don�t be proud because she has to. Don�t despair, your mother loves you. Don�t be proud, she gotta.

"show me a hero and i'll write you a tragedy" --f. scott fitzgerald
the title of the song is derived from the eponymous g.i. gurdjieff novel.
what is sean saying at the end there? "and just because it's doesn't make it any betta!" i used to know this, but i can't remember right now.
that should read "and just because it's [something] doesn't make it any betta!"
and just because its meta doesn't make it any betta
First verse is amazing.
