Harvey Danger - Pity Fear LYRICS

Remember pericles?

He democratized the city with his mind.

A little wisdom never hurt anyone...

Tell that to socrates!

Telling the citizens what they needed to hear

(but still, they fed him hemlock.)

Now, the greeks dont speak my language.

I dont get the relevance.

I am the reverence, I have no reverence.

Show me no deference; Ill do the same for you.

La la la la

Did you ever know youre my tragic hero?

You be the pity, Ill 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 - dont let me down, son.

There was a car, the wheels came off it,

And I know that nobody never made a profit.

Censor your gravity, boy,

Im counting on you to be my protg.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Cast it off with the rest, flip,

Your footsteps are filling up

Every time you turn around,

You can see the idols and youll be knocking em down,

One, two, three, four, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Did you ever know youre my tragic hero?

You be the pity, Ill 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 cant hold a candle.

Some touch, some damn it.

But now I cant!

Such a tragic hero.

Youre my tragic hero.

Such a tragic hero, ohh,

Hes my tragic hero.
