Fearless Leader

Soul Asylum


Jesus was a hippie, peace and love was all he was about 
That's why they killed him, cause that sh*t'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 

Nixon was a liar it's the one thing believed to be true 
But tricky dick was not a crook whatever that means, whatever presidents do 
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 
But heroes will never let you down just as long as they're dead 
Satan is a feeling, deviance it lurks in everyone 

Guilty pleasures, mischievous behavior can be fun 
No one made you do it, nobody but yourself to blame 
It's always at your door and trouble is it's name 

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader 
Who's gonna put your fears to bed 

Sometimes you gotta pick and choose 
Sometimes no matter what you lose 

Divine was a woman whos' private parts said she was a man 
Those were his private parts the parts that he could never understand 
But she was an actress she could be anything that she wanted 
Her reality was the very thing that she flaunted 

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader 
Who's gonna put your fears to bed 
But heroes will never let you down just as long as they're dead 

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader 
When you run from fear you leave yourself behind 
You can't dump your fears on someone else 
Cause it's all in your mind
