Guitar Hero
Amanda Palmer

I can't get them up, I can't get them up

I can't get them up at all

Hey ho, let's go


Good morning, Killer King, you're a star

That's gorgeous, hold it right where you are

The weather's kinda lousy today

So what, oh, what, oh, what'll we play?


Stratocaster strapped to your back

It's a semiautomatic like dad's

He taught you how to pause and reset

And that's about as far as you get


So what's the use of going outside?

It's so depressing when people die in real life

I'd rather pick up right where we left

Makin' out to faces of death

Makin' out to faces of death


And I could save you, baby

But it isn't worth my time

And I could make you chase me

For a little Price Is Right


It's a hit but are you actually sure?

The targets in the crowd are a blur

The people screaming just like they should

But you don't even know if you're good

You don't even know if you're good


So tie them up and feed them the sand, ha, nigga

Try to tell us using your hands

A picture's worth a million words

And that way nobody gets hurt

And that way nobody gets hurt


And I could save you, baby

But it isn't worth my time

And I could make you chase me

For a little Price Is Right


You're my guitar hero

You're my guitar hero

You're my guitar hero

You're my guitar hero


X marks the box in the hole in the ground

That goes off at a breath so careful don't make a sound

X marks the box in the hole in your head

That you dug for yourself now lie in it


Shut up about all of that negative shit

You wanted to make it and now that you're in

You shut your eyes and flip the cassette

And that's about the time that they hit

And that's about the time that they hit


What the fuck is up with this shit?

It's certainly not worth getting upset

His hands are gone and most of his head

And just when he was getting so good

Just when he was getting so good


I could save you, baby

But it isn't worth my time

'Cause even if I saved you

There's a million more in line


You're my guitar hero

You're my guitar hero

You're my guitar hero

You're my guitar hero

You're my guitar hero
