Decorated Lyrics

[Written by Mike Jackson and Steve Benito]



[Copyright 1988 Richard Cheese Music-ASCAP]



Hero, Warrior

Sit behind the lines and make the call

Leader, Believer

A vestal three-piece high above it all



But until you've walked the miles

With the people that you lead

You can't understand their pain

When the common people bleed



Fuhrer, Big Brother

Victimize the weak and make us strong

Teacher, Savior

Sanctify your answers, right or wrong



But until you've walked the miles

With the people that you lead

You can't understand their pain

When the common people bleed



--You should be decorated

Adorned by scarlet bars

A celebrated General

To brandish blackened stars



--You should be decorated

Your ribbons frayed and torn

Upon your paper pedestal

For the children to adorn



--You should be decorated



Leader, Believer

Victimize the weak and make us strong

Teacher, Savior

Sanctify your answers, right or wrong



But until you've walked the miles

With the people that you lead

You can't understand their pain

When the common people bleed



--You should be decorated
