Fearless Leader Lyrics - Soul Asylum

Jesus was a hippie 

Peace and love was all He was about 

That's why they killed Him 

'Cause that shit's something people can't figure out 

Now some folks who worship Him 

Are the ones who would have cheered at the crucifixion 

They got no conviction 

It doesn't matter if the Man was fact or fiction 

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader? 

Who's gonna put your fears to bed? 

'Cos heroes will never let you down 

Just as long as they're dead 

Satan is a feeling 

Deviance, it lurks in everyone 

Guilty pleasures 

And mischievous behavior can be fun 

But no one made you do it 

Nobody but yourself to blame 

It's always at your door 

And trouble is its name 

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader? 

Who's gonna put your fears to bed? 

'Cos heroes will never let you down 

Just as long as they're dead 

Sometimes you gotta pick and choose 

Sometimes no matter what you lose 

Nixon was a liar 

It's the one thing believed to be true 

Tricky Dick was not a crook 

Whatever that means, whatever presidents do 

But money can't buy you children 

And nothing can bring them back to you 

We all make mistakes 

We all need someone to look up to 

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader? 

Who's gonna put your fears to bed? 

'Cos heroes will never let you down 

Just as long as they're dead
