One Last Hope lyrics

Artist  : Various 
Song : One Last Hope



 Send "One Last Hope" Ringtone to your Cell 

 So, ya wanna be a hero kid?
Well,
whoop-de-do!
I have been around the block
before
With blockheads just like you
Each
and ev'ryone a disappointment
Pain for which
there ain't no ointment
So much fo
excuses
Though a kid of Zeus' is
Asking me
to jump into the fray
My answer is two
words--
O.K.
You win
Oh gods
Oy
vay!
I'd given up hope that someone would come
along
A fellow who'd ring the bell for
once--
Not the gong
The kind who win
trophies
Won't settle for low fees
At least
semi-pro fees
But no--I get the green
horn
I've been out to pasture
pal, my
ambition gone
Content to spend lazy days and
to graze
my lawn
But you need an
advisor
A satyr, but wiser
A good
merchandiser
And ohh!
There goes my
ulcer!
I'm down to one last hope
And I hope
it's you
Though, kid, you're not exactly
A
dream come true
I've trained enough
turkeys
Who never came through
You're my
one last hope
So you'll have to do
Demigods
have faced the odds
And ended up a
mockery
Don't believe the stories
That you
read on all the crockery
To be a true hero,
kid, is
a dying art
Like painting a
masterpiece,
it's a work of heart
It takes
more than sinew
Come down to what's in
you
You have to continue
To grow
Now
that's more like it!
I'm down to one last
shot
And my last high note
Before that
blasted
Underworld
Gets my goat
My
dreams are on you, kid
Go make them come
true
Climb that uphill slope
Keep pushing
that envelope
You're my one last hope
And,
kid, it's up to you
