[Verse 1]
We're in the movies
We're heroes
We sparkle at night
Love among puppets
And one day
I'll pull all the strings

[Chorus]
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
See boys say I'm mayhem
See boys say I'm mayhem
See boys say I'm mayhem
See boys say I'm mayhem

[Verse 2]
Was my wife the doctor
The patient
Or something obscene?
A history of nothing
Like a see-through song in disguise
Heroes are tough
And have no time
For women and boys
I won't cry
'Til this thing is over
And someone agrees

[Chorus]
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
See boys say I'm mayhem
See boys say I'm mayhem
See boys say I'm mayhem
See boys say I'm mayhem

[Bridge]
White boys and heroes
We have no time for celebration
We have no time left at all

[Chorus]
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
