Lyrics for Soap Star Joe
He's just a hero In a long line of heroes Looking for something attractive to save They say he rode in On the back of a pickup And he won't leave town 'Til you remember his name He's just a hero In a long line of heroes Looking for some lonely billboard to grace They say he sprung from the skull of Athena Think about your own head And the headache he gave He's just a hero In a long line of heroes Looking for action at a price he can pay They say he's famous But no one can prove it Make him an offer just to see what he'll say Check out the dashboard lights Glowing all green and white He feels safe in the dark He wears his bluejeans tight He's just a hero In a long line of heroes Looking for something attractive to save They say he rode in On the back of a pickup And he won't leave town 'Til you remember his name Check out the thinning hair Check out the aftershave Check out America You're looking at it babe
