paroles de chanson Hero and the Straightaway - James Keelaghan

Buddy that's ahead of me
His driving is kind of lame
He speeds up every time
I get into the passing lane
Maybe he's afraid
He'll be left behind
If someone gets ahead of him
That's tantamount to crime
He might pass for aggressive
If he ever got the nerve
But he's a hero on the straightway
A chicken on the curve

Buddy on the airwaves
Well, he's a got a problem, too
You have to lick his boots
Before he'll ever talk to you
He panders to your boogeymen
He's good at scratching scabs
He knows when something's good for you
He knows when it is bad
It seems his lot in life is to whimper and to scoff
He's a pea brain when the mike is on
A loudmouth when it's off

Buddy on the campaign
Like a parrot on parade
Always reads the script
So he knows what he can say
Yeah, they give him handy little buzzwords
Such as family and crime
He knows the trough is waiting
If he toes the party line
If he ever had a scruple
It would knock him off his stride
But he's a preacher on your doorstep
A thief when he's inside

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

Hey Buddy, get out of the way
