One Last Hope
Various Artists So, ya wanna be a hero kid? I have been around the block before Well, whoopEach and ev'ryone a disappointment Pain for which there ain't no ointment With blockheads just like you So much fo excuses Though a kid of Zeus' is Asking me to jump into the fray My answer is two wordsO.K. You win Oh gods Oy vay! I'd given up hope that someone would come along A fellow who'd ring the bell for onceNot the gong The kind who win trophies Won't settle for low fees At least semi But noI've been out to pasture pal, my ambition gone Content to spend lazy days and to graze my lawn A satyr, but wiser But you need an advisor A good merchandiser And ohh! There goes my ulcer! I'm down to one last hope And I hope it's you Though, kid, you're not exactly A dream come true I've trained enough turkeys Who never came through You're my one last hope So you'll have to do Demigods have faced the odds Don't believe the stories And ended up a mockery That you read on all the crockery To be a true hero, kid, is Like painting a masterpiece, a dying art it's a work of heart It takes more than sinew Come down to what's in you To grow Now that's more like it! You have to continue And my last high note I'm down to one last shot Underworld Before that blasted Gets my goat My dreams are on you, kid Go make them come true Climb that uphill slope You're my one last hope Keep pushing that envelope And, kid, it's up to you |
