Lyrics:
He hit the ground running
At the speed of light (Verse 1)
The star was brightly shining
Like a neon light
It's your favorite son (Chorus)
It's your favorite son
A augmentedA fixture on the talkshows
To the silver screen (Verse 2)
From here to Colorado
He's a sex machine
(Chorus)
But isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag? (Bridge)
Isn't it a drag?
It's pretty bloody sad
But isn't it a drag?
A augmentedA clean-cut all-American
Really ain't so clean (Verse 3)
His royal auditorium
Is a murder scene
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Well, no one says it's fair
Turn a teenage lush (Interlude)
To a millionaire
Now where's your fuckin' champion?
On a bed you laid (Verse 4)
He's not the all-American
That you thought you paid
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
But isn't it a drag?
