Lyrics
Remember Pericles?
He democratized the city with his mind
A little wisdom never hurt anyone
Tell that to Socrates
Telling the citizens what they needed to hear
But still they fed him hemlock
Now, the Greeks don't speak my language
I don't get the relevance
I am irreverent, I have no reverence
Show me no deference, I'll do the same for you, la la la la
Did you ever know you're my tragic hero?
You be the pity, I'll be the fear
And every subscriber will know what a truly
Great man you are
In the conference room he said to me quote
"Avoid your generation's
Proclivity for irony and negativity
Held so commonly
Don't let me down, son"
There was a car, the wheels came off it
And I know that nobody never made a profit
Center your gravity, boy
I'm counting on you to be my protรฉgรฉ
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Cast it off with a wrist flip
Your footsteps are filling up
Every time you turn around you can see the idols
And you'll be knocking 'em down
One, Two, Three, Four, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ah, ah ah, bah da da, ah ha
Did you ever know you're my tragic hero?
You be the pity, I'll be the fear
And every advertiser will know what a truly great man you truly are
Some wear their politics like an aura
Some take it on like a mantle
Some can't hold a candle
Some touch, some dabble
But not you!
T-t-tragic hero
You're my tragic hero
Tra-tra-tragic hero (Oh)
He's my tragic hero
