"Rock 'n' Roll Messiah"
Lyrics:
Whoa!
He comes to us
He speaks the truth
Isn't he the only one?
There's no bubble-gum idealism here
Just the burgeoning reality
He can command with a single word
Since he knows life isn't fun
He's a god, like the bringer of the truth
Of the bubbling reality (it's really offensive)

He sets our souls afire
He's our rock 'n' roll messiah
Give us the magic we desire
Tell us rock 'n' roll messiah
You know, let us be different
Let us be different
On second thought, let us be better
We want to be better!
Through this truth you give to our eyes
Tells us of the world's nasty lies
He tells us, you know, that the world does despair
And we worship him even though we're like half the problem
You know, because he represents the everyman
That's why he helps no one
And doesn't talk to his fans

He's a god, he's more than man
And he agrees, and we believe

Well, like, what would you do if there's no where to go?
Nothing else in which you can believe?
His emotion is so deep and so like our own
His touching feelings cut right to the bone
He's the man next door
He's the man next door and a whole lot more
Because he lives his life in another dimension
He adds new meaning to the word "pretension"
