American Hero

My God, do you even know my name? Are you changing up your mind over changes I never made for you? We are no more than we'll ever be With heaven on my mind, and hell, well I believe In the stage lights, come down, breaking over me Heaven, heaven is a dream, heaven, heaven is a dream I believed but never would've been, heaven, heaven is a dream Heaven, heaven is a dream, I I would do anything for you to love me Like I'm an American hero, baby Star-spangled in my manner Shaking every man's hand in the presidential manor, you see I would do anything to hear you say There goes an American hero, darling Call the press and tell 'em all "He's got a front page picture face with all of the amenities" If you really don't mind, take me as I am Take me as I am, when you get a chance Take your time, I understand Believe me when I say I carry all my sins And I would do anything for you to love me Call me an American hero, oh Call me an American hero, oh Call me an American I'll leave, if and when you want me to When and if I've haunted you and if I miss you when you do not Real talk, do you read fuck-up in my walk? Do you see fuck-up on my face? Do I mean anything at all? Don't say you love me if you do got nothing else to say to me When heaven is a dream, and reality is fictional! Fictional! Constantine and every host of Christendom What carried them, buried them, with every last one of us America is just a dream Just a dream, pretty thing Nothing's ever what it seems Just a dream, I still scream in my sleep In my sleep I still scream that I would do anything for you to love me Like I'm an American hero, baby Star-spangled in my manner Shaking every man's hand in the presidential manor, you see I would do anything to hear you say There goes an American hero, darling Call the press and tell 'em all "He's got a front page picture face with all of the amenities" If you really don't mind, take me as I am Take me as I am, when you get a chance Take your time, I understand, believe me When I say I carry all my sins And I would do anything for you to love me Call me an American hero, oh Call me an American hero, oh Call me an American hero, oh Call me an American hero, oh Call me an American
