Action Figure Hero

from Perfect World Today by Peter Galperin

/

lyrics

(verse 1)
He’s got a shiny silver cape that gives him superpowers. He doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t drink, not during business hours.

(pre-chorus)
And when the innocent get hurt, he doesn’t seem to care.
it never occurs to him that he’s the one to blame...

(chorus)
‘cause he’s an action figure hero (yeah, yeah, yeah),
an action figure hero (yeah, yeah, yeah).

(verse 2)
Because evil never sleeps, he’s always guarding our nation.
He’ll show up just when things look bleak, unless it’s during his vacation.

(bridge)
He’s in command, the stars and stripes are blowing.
He’s got a plan, to keep the profits flowing.
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea.
He’ll take a stand to save me and you.

(verse 3)
When ideologies collide, you can see he’s a true believer,
that God and guns are on his side. There goes our fearless leader.
