NO HEROES

He ran the hundred meter in just nine seven nine, 
They hung a medal on him and he looked just fine. 
The people cheered. "He's a world-class champ!" 
But the drug test showed that he won by a sham.

[Refrain:] Heroes come and heroes go 
Can you tell any difference between 'em? 
The world needs heroes who really know 
God’s laws and how to heed  'em.

He was a TV preacher of the Good Book’s fire
Raking in millions of dollars to the tune of a choir 
When the photos were printed, his halo lost its sheen 
The preacher king kept a street-walking queen.

Now it isn’t my purpose to make fun of folks 
Who have turned their lives into bad-taste jokes
But there are millions of people who still don’t know 
That this is just not the age to worship heroes.
There’s a demon named Kali who pulls all the strings 
Those heroes are his puppets whose praises we sing. 
If you follow such leaders who are spiritually blind
You can expect to be cheated, because Kali's not kind.

If you’re looking for a hero because worship you must 
Don’t pick an idol who will crumble to dust. 
Krishna's holy name has been given to you, 
It will free you from illusion so you II never feel blue.

Elevate your mind out of this second-rate world, 
Where the heroes are just bubbles in a cosmic whirl. 
The person who can help you dwells within your own heart, 
His name is Govinda, you’re His eternal serving part.
