Too Late The Hero

So I say,
Bleeding through the eyes and slurring words (carbon monoxide)
Im just as clever as the next guy
"Pay attention son, youve got a lot to learn"
Im older than i sound, Ive been reading up
"you wouldnt understand. you wouldnt understand"
There are many ways to kill a man, they say.
All things being equal, lets assume you are the heart of this operation
Lets paint this town red
You can turn me into him
Dont be shy
You are the heart of this operation
Lets paint this town red.
Has it been so long?
You cant ignore the threat they pose at last
They grow up so fast
Your golden boys could teach you a thing or two
"Pay attention son, youve got a lot to learn"
You love the way I make you look, dont lie
"You wouldnt understand. you wouldnt understand"
While the townies smoke outside, you can cut and run, so
All things being equal, lets assume you are the heart of this operation
Lets paint this town red
You can turn me into him
Dont be shy
You are the heart of this operation
Lets paint this town red.
Bleeding through the eyes and slurring words
Yeah, your golden boys could teach you a thing or two
Cause you love, cause you love the way I make you look
While the townies smoke outside you can cut and run
Ive torn my throat for years, last I knew
As long as you take your sample size advice with you
All things being equal, lets assume you are the heart of this operation
Lets paint this town red
You can turn me into him
Dont be shy
You are the heart of this operation
Lets paint this town red
