Remember Pericles?
He democratized the city with his mind
A little wisdom never hurt any one
Tell that to Socrates
Telling the citizens what they needed to hear
But still they fed him hemlock
Now the Greeks don't speak my language
I don't get the relevance
I am irreverence
I have no reverence
Show me no deference
I'll do the same for you
La la la la

Did you ever know you are my tragic hero
You be the pity, I'll be the fear
And every subscriber will know
What a truly great man you are

In the conference room he said to me quote
"Avoid your generations
Proclivity for irony and negativity held so commonly
Don't let me down son."

There was a car the wheels came off it
And I know that nobody ever made a profit
Centre your gravity, boy
I'm counting on you to be my protégé
Ha ha ha ha
Cast it off with wrist flips
Your foot steps are filling up
Every time you turn around
You can see the idols
And you'll be knockin' 'em down
One, two, three, four
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Did you ever know you're my tragic hero?
You be the pity, I'll be the fear
And every advertiser will know
What a truly great man you truly are

Some with it, politics like Andorra
Some take it on like a mantle
Some can't hold a candle
Some touch, some damn it
But not you!

Such a tragic hero
You're my tragic hero
Tr-tr-tragic hero
He's my tragic hero
