Soap Star Joe Songtext
von Liz Phair

He′s just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for something attractive to save
They say he rode in on the back of a pickup
And he won't leave town ′til you remember his name

He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for some lonely billboard to grace
They say he sprung from the skull of Athena
Think about your own head and the headache he gave


He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for action at a price he can pay
They say he′s famous but no one can prove it
Make him an offer just to see what he′ll say

Check out the dashboard lights
Glowing all green and white
He feels safe in the dark
He wears his bluejeans tight

He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for something attractive to save
They say he rode in on the back of a pickup
And he won′t leave town 'til you remember his name


Check out the thinning hair
Check out the aftershave
Check out America
You′re looking at it babe
