lyrics

By saving this community
I've made many enemies
Who wait to get back at me
With patience and enmity

And when an old friend in a low place
Can be bought for my disgrace
I start to hear

You're no better than us
Who are you to tell us
Are you jealous?
Overzealous?
What are you trying to sell us?

You can't do right by the people
Without people dragging you down

Oh, how heroic to have to hide
the human every hero has inside

A statement accusing me
of hiding a history
of wild delinquency
that ended in custody

Photographs of his face and mine
Both smiling, laughing at the time

All it proves is that I knew him
But they say

That's his face, all right
Our guiding light
You can see they were tight
Guess he's not such a white knight

You can't do right by the people
Without people dragging you down
(Oh, how heroic to have to hide
the hero...)
