Happy Hero Lyrics

Overall the song is about the paradox of celebrity culture, and how those who achieve it are both above the law and at the same time are bound by rules that don't apply to most people, where the most severe punishment is the loss of their celebrity status <"my curse">.

They close with a pitch for Pepsi, crowd noises and gunshots. I think there are subliminal lyrics in the crowd noises, but I have not been able to break them out.

My Opinion
