lyrics
Set apart from all the rest
Told too often that they're the best
They packed their bags, all neat and tidy
and walked straight into poison ivy
Education as such
does not really matter all that much
compared with the more enticing plan
of becoming as famous as you can
'Cause who has time for a healthier way
when there's attention to grab and a world to save
but the world is tired of this hero stuff
enough already, slow down, wise up
You tell yourself, pick up the pace
go out and win that imaginary race
Keep on talking about how you're great
And take up everyone else's airspace
'Cause who has time for a healthier way
when there's attention to grab and a world to save
but the world is tired of this hero stuff
enough already, slow down, wise up
Leaders of the world, puh-lease
We're the last thing the planet needs
Let's learn and laugh like the kids we are
and hope that in time we may travel far
But who has time for a healthier way
when there's attention to grab and a world to save
but the world is tired of this hero stuff
enough already, slow down, wise up
Told too often that they're the best
They packed their bags, all neat and tidy
and walked straight into poison ivy
Education as such
does not really matter all that much
compared with the more enticing plan
of becoming as famous as you can
'Cause who has time for a healthier way
when there's attention to grab and a world to save
but the world is tired of this hero stuff
enough already, slow down, wise up
You tell yourself, pick up the pace
go out and win that imaginary race
Keep on talking about how you're great
And take up everyone else's airspace
'Cause who has time for a healthier way
when there's attention to grab and a world to save
but the world is tired of this hero stuff
enough already, slow down, wise up
Leaders of the world, puh-lease
We're the last thing the planet needs
Let's learn and laugh like the kids we are
and hope that in time we may travel far
But who has time for a healthier way
when there's attention to grab and a world to save
but the world is tired of this hero stuff
enough already, slow down, wise up
