Story behind the song
Like many of the songs on this album, Tragic Hero comes from a place of love, loss, and heartbreak. A humorous critique of attitudes and behaviors that are common in a society suffering from a lack of self-knowledge, a high degree of selfishness, and confusion.
Lyrics
"Tragic Hero" words and music by Mark F. Bernheisel copyright 2012
Life wasn't fair, so you threw your heart away.
Doing every drug, to make your body pay.
You say you're healed now but you just say no to food.
If you don't eat soon, we'll both be screwed.
You're just a tragic hero.
You're just a tragic hero.
You're just a tragic hero.
You're just a tragic hero.
Knight in shining armor, damsel in distress.
She'll be a good girl if you buy her a new dress.
Your hipster beard stinks of testosterone.
Watch out where you're driving, get off that cell phone!
Yoga goddess in your lulu lemon clothes.
It only cost five grand to buy your perfect nose.
Eat that sugar now, work out extra hard.
If you make enough cash you can buy a brand new car.
Pumpin' oil like it's goin' out of style.
Too bad that lipstick can't make you smile.
We just don't care that we're nuking Mother Earth.
Watch out for the monster to whom you're giving birth.
New life blooms, within your womb today.
Better kill it off, before it gets in your way.
Got no time for kids livin' that lifestyle.
You'll only be hip and cool for another little while.
