Why are all our heroes so imperfect
Why do
they always bring me down
Why are all our
heroes so imperfect
The statue in the park has
lost his crown

William Faulkner drunk and
depressed
Dorothy Parker mean, drunk and
depressed
And that guy in Seven Years in Tibet
turned out to be a nazi
The founding fathers
all had slaves, the explorers slaughtered the
braves,
The Old Testament God can be so
petty

Paul McCartney jealous of John, even
more so now that he's gone
Dylan was so mean to
Donovan in that movie
Pablo Picasso cruel to
his wives
My favorite poets took their own
lives
Orson Welles peaked at 25, ballooned
before our eyes
and he sold bad
wine

Heard Babe Ruth was full of
malice
Lewis Carroll I'm sure did
Alice
Plato in the cave with those very young
boys
TS Elliott hated Jews, FDR didn't save
the Jews
All the French joined the resistance
after the war
Raymond Chandler drunk and
depressed
Tennessee Williams drunk and
depressed
Think I'll just get drunk and
depressed.
