One of my personal favorites by P86. This song is satire all the way around, and is a very hard one to completely get a grasp on, but I shall try.
The first verse is about how people will turn against their heroes at the drop of a hat. One mistake and the lynch mob shows up ready to hang the once worshipped leader. Perhaps even a church congregation?
The second verse, I believe, is a big time play on "fearless fathers" and "dollars", meaning the men whose faces are on our money all died and now most of what they fought for is mocked by the very money on which their faces are printed.
Overall, the song is about how people are only satisfied with a "hero" when things are going well, and they will change their mind at the drop of a hat, including those who follow God. Our hero may have died, but he rose again!
