"I Can't Be Your Hero Today" lyrics

It's never been the same
Since you returned from dreaming
With your nursery rhyme excuses
Your picture postcards gleaming

Telling everyone who looks your way
'Bout people and their sinning
While you left field verse is falling
In proportion to your winning

And I can't be your hero today
I'm through with the simple games you play
It just may take some time for me to even up the score
But I can't be your soldier home from war

And there you sit shouting
That there's still hope for us
While nature holds the handcuffs
On a Capricorn and Taurus

There's nothing you can do or say
To get me to your camp
Go fill up all your savings books
And buy yourself a lamp

And I can't be your hero today
Your wholesale price is much to high to pay
A bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell love
And I can't be your Superman above

No, I can't be your hero today
That is all I really want to say
Go find a leading man who wants to play
I can't be your hero today
