Fearless Leader
Fearless Leader: Unraveling the Enigma of Heroes and Human Nature
Lyrics
Jesus was a hippie
Jesus is metaphorically described as a hippie, emphasizing peace and love.
Peace and love was all He was about
Jesus' essence was centered around peace and love.
That's why they killed Him
Jesus was killed because his message was incomprehensible to some people.
'Cause that shit's something people can't figure out
Reference to the difficulty people have in understanding Jesus' teachings.
Now some folks who worship Him
Some of Jesus' worshipers would have supported his crucifixion.
Are the ones who would have cheered at the crucifixion
People lacking conviction, despite worshiping Jesus.
They got no conviction
Those worshiping Jesus might question whether he was real or fictional.
It doesn't matter if the Man was fact or fiction
Regardless of Jesus' reality, it doesn't affect their commitment.
But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Rhetorical question about finding a reliable leader.
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
A leader who can alleviate fears.
'Cos heroes will never let you down
Heroes won't disappoint as long as they are deceased.
Just as long as they're dead
Commentary on the reliability of heroes after death.
Satan is a feeling
Satan is described as a universal feeling.
Deviance, it lurks in everyone
Deviant thoughts exist in everyone.
Guilty pleasures
Enjoying guilty pleasures and mischievous behavior can be entertaining.
And mischievous behavior can be fun
Recognition that individuals are responsible for their actions.
But no one made you do it
No one forces you into wrongdoing; it's self-inflicted.
Nobody but yourself to blame
Personal responsibility for the consequences of one's actions.
It's always at your door
Trouble is always present, knocking at the door.
And trouble is its name
Trouble is identified by its name.
But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Rhetorical question about finding a fearless leader to dispel fears.
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
A leader who can calm fears and concerns.
'Cos heroes will never let you down
Heroes won't let you down, especially when they are no longer alive.
Just as long as they're dead
Reflecting on the trustworthiness of heroes posthumously.
Sometimes you gotta pick and choose
Life requires making choices and accepting losses.
Sometimes no matter what you lose
Acknowledging that some situations lead to unavoidable losses.
Nixon was a liar
Nixon is labeled as a liar.
It's the one thing believed to be true
The one undeniable aspect about Nixon is his dishonesty.
Tricky Dick was not a crook
Disputing the "not a crook" claim, questioning presidential actions.
Whatever that means, whatever presidents do
Uncertainty about the meaning of presidential actions.
But money can't buy you children
Wealth cannot replace the loss of children.
And nothing can bring them back to you
Nothing can bring back lost loved ones.
We all make mistakes
Recognition of the universal experience of making mistakes.
We all need someone to look up to
Everyone needs someone to admire or look up to.
But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Rhetorical question about finding a fearless leader.
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
A leader who can pacify fears and anxieties.
'Cos heroes will never let you down
Heroes remain dependable, especially in death.
Just as long as they're dead
Reflection on the reliability of heroes even after their demise.
