All the talk of getting results
Results in stabbing backs
Taught to get in front
When someone's gotta fall to the back, Jack
So I tried to play the straight way
For every penny giving thanks
All the talk of saving
Was probably talk of filling banks
Defiled like the rest of 'em
Defiled anyway
Well I never had no heroes
And heroes had no time for me
All the damsels in distress
Were always too tied up for me
Yeah you can make like Ma Theresa
Or you can make like Jesse James
Sticking up or kneeling down
They got the goods
They earned their names
Defiled like the rest of 'em
Defiled anyway
Well everyone they said were sinners
Gave me faith to play the game
Defiled like the rest of 'em
Defiled anyway
No I never had no heroes
And heroes had no time for me
My eyes are dirty
I can't see
