Hero! - Hero!

I've got pseudo intellectual boredom - I've got square eyes
Hail Mary's to the network for the action packed reports on upraise
reading for the Nation - dead pan
like family - quite - like household faces
hero! - hero!
bringing you the world at home
like Peeping Toms of distant places
hero! - hero!

Silver tongued hero - reading the news
silver tongued hero - you give me the blues
though the world's in a mess - there's no sign of distress - in your eyes
I wish I knew why

Always on the move with a full crew
cameras - lights - let's have some action
hero! - hero!
in the middle of a battle with a microphone
with bullets - bombs - what's your reaction
hero! - hero!
I've got the picture - all is lean and light and portable
so to make it all quite possible - but not for too long

How many sets have you got? - I've got one - two one for each floor
can you wait for Channel Four - Breakfast TV - news with your corn flakes
for the big show that's the news - top of the pole
highest rating of them all - everything's there from life to death
but s__ is out - makes the censors lose their breath
violence's O.K.

Silver tongued hero - reading the news
silver tongued hero - you give me the blues
though the world's in a mess - there's no sign of distress - in your eyes
I wish I knew why
