All the talk of getting results

Yeah results in stabbing backs

Taught to get in front

When someone's gotta fall to the back, Jack

So I tried to play the straight way

For every penny giving thanks

All the talk of saving

Was probably talk of filling banks

Defiled like the rest of 'em

Defiled anyway

Well I never had no heroes

And heroes had no time for me

And the damsels in distress

Were always too tied up for me

Yeah you can make like Ma Theresa

Or you can make like Jesse James

Stick 'em up or kneel down

They got the goods

They earned their names

Defiled like the rest of 'em

Defiled anyway

Well everyone they said were sinners

Gave me faith to play the game

No I never had no heroes

And heroes had no time for me

My eyes are dirty

I can't see
