We Can Do Better

Is that a friend of yours?
She's standing half a chance
Is she looking good?
Looking much better than you
With the light so dim in here
It gets hard to tell, dear
Exactly who you're looking to
Oh, do i bore you?
I feel like i'm wasting my conversation on the side of your face
I could be blind
But I don't think so
Look into my eyes for a sec and listen up
We can do better
I'll give you ten thousand babies
We Can do better
Or I'll back off and give you space
We can do better
Hey I can go down whenever
We can do better
And I don't leave a trace
I like making history
Yes we are major
We're like sliced bread but pretty
Jealousy is thick with our friends
Sometimes we'll let them in
To glimpse out majesty
To sign our registry
Make sure there is no other man over my shoulder
I get so tired of being number 2
The race was run before it ran,
In my past lives
What's on your mind, girl?
We can do better
I'll give you ten thousand babies
We Can do better
Or I'll back off and give you space
We can do better
Hey I can go down whenever
We can do better
And I don't leave a trace
I'm an infiltrator
I caught you looking at me
I wanna weaken your mind
This is the push and the squeeze
We're on the Exxon Valdez
I'll make your strawberry bleed
And i don't leave a trace

Hollywood Pt. 1
03:50

Holly Wood is fixin'
Fixin' in a car
Oh my oh
Flesh across a fallen star
Unconscious and holding court
In a best abandoned view around Hollywood
Everyone is crowded around the fumes
They're exhausted by you
Whatcha gonna do about Holly Wood?
Hollywood
N'er do wells in leather
Hollywood
Wear the bells
Wear the bells
Hollywood
I am not long in town and i could use the bread
I want to be yours but I'm not one of them
Close your eyes
Try to imagine a good band
Time is beating up the interest level
It's only tragic when it's new
C'est bon, c'est vrai, say bye to Hollywood
Probably should

Your plastic vendettas are striking and original
Hey, it corners the eyes
You know the needle you thread through,
You genius you fool you,
It's greedy and wise
Let's get specific
Your complexion is terrific and your jeans are alright
Your genes are alright
I can't wait no more
I can't wait no more
"Take me out to the sushi bar
I've never tried the ahi tuna before
Think I'd rather have a salmon roll
A water and a saki bowl"
I'm making time with the Barbie twins
Check my watch,
"Hey it's 2am bar time, baby"
Think i wanna ride a pink Corvette
And lay you down on a plastic bed
I can't wait no more
I can't wait no more
You can dress em up anyway you like it
That kind of speed aint gonna get you very far
Hey information, meet genetics and the bible
Let's start a fight
Like i said before
i can't wait no more
My intention is to wake up Superman and kick him out the door

Metal Only
04:23
|

|
I was always moody
Nothing ever new now
Standing by the lack of fame
Punch the vice
Kick the pain
This face is so controlling
Couldn't you just bust?
I control the lightning
Lover, walk within me
Don't it seem every time i try something new , they wanna scream
"Metal Only"
"Metal Only"
"Metal Only"
Don't it seem every time i try something new they wanna scream
"Metal Only"
"Metal Only"
"Metal Only"
Yeah
I'm a Texas comptroller
I'm a lethal dance instructor
Shopping like i mean it
Drop your hint and leave
I haven't writ this far
There must be something i can borrow
Call today and ask him
He'll tell you "It is tomorrow"
Don't it seem every time i try something new , they wanna scream
"Metal Only"
"Metal Only"
"Metal Only"
Leaving room in the back of my mind for the drums and the extra keys
"Metal Only"
"Metal Only"
"Metal Only"
Hey!

University Love
05:06

|
That's it, I'm changing the headline
Here lies the new me
One virile creation
Ready made
Infiltrating your scene
I don't wanna act tough
I should be enough by now
Fake it as you go
No one here will know
They're all gone, self centered, and utterly convincible
Bobby said to Candy "Can I kiss your chest?
Ya know i kiss em best. Don't make me offer all of this to someone else.
Hey, baby, I'm just kidding. Is it wrong of me?"
Candy took a shot then she turned to Marlon who was unaware
And then her lips were there
While a red light blinked
Now, I don't wanna act tough
I should be enough by now
Fake it as you go
No one here will know
They're all gone, self centered, and utterly convincible
Chances are you return to the name you wanted
And the cause is on the blink of a night
Oh how it looks
True love arrive
Shaking up minds
Relentless and gentle
Now I don't wanna act tough
1,2,3 enough
Let's just add it up
University love
Somewhere in the future is what you should have had
Wake up to find you're an alley cat
No God.
No Cause
A survivor
Chances are you return to the name you wanted
And the cause is on the blink of a night
Oh, how it looks
True love arrive

The Destroyer
02:56

I stood in line a hundred times but I know I'll never see you
This cheap admission gets me nowhere 'cept a seat in your theatre.
It's a shame you're to blame for my lack of performance.
Now I'm homeless in an intellectual way
Where's the chorus?
The destroyer
Cracked the pull top tab on a life that's less played out before us
I adore you
A blot of lipstick, "Scarlett J", beneath your company header.
Sweaty hands, making plans, writing fabulous letters
Make me better
You came in late as a state but I'm starting to warm to "the destroyer"
Let me stand in the rays of your aura
You're a porno
The Destroyer
Sometimes i quake and i shake when I'm on ya
I adore you
I'm coming back and you'll be sorry you know me
I'm coming back and you'll be sorry you know me
I adore you
"I adore you, yes I've heard it before"

Too Complicated
03:12
|

|
Oh you know it just became too complicated
Oh ya know
Oh ya know
I'd like to see you, yes to meet you
Simple
As you are
Be careful of the clevers, darling
They can do me harm
Oh you know it just became too complicated
Oh ya know
Oh ya know
You're thinking with your eyes again
You're talking with your throat
The choker that i gave you isn't doing what it's told
You said terrible things
And I said some myself
Our social life is a shambles
I'm a jealous nervous wreck
Wreck!
Let's go back to the beginning
Let's remember who we are
I know what they say
That you can't go back
But they didn't try to hard
We're independent
We're innocent
It's war and war is hell
I believe when we're together we are better than ourselves
Oh you know it just became too complicated
Oh ya know
Oh ya know

Some scenes may seem a little fast
Smoke clouds occlude the glowing glass
Eyes half closed
Under-dosed
Soft slurred words
The edges blurred
I've seen her face someplace else
In Japanese animation cells
Murmured replies cornered in her eyes
I'm more morose when I'm disclosed
If she doesn't devastate me
I'll keep on calling
If she doesn't devastate me
The words you hear have been reversed
The seal you see is the obverse
Swallow the tea but don't believe the leaves
Remember Peter's denials and the Stasi files
I fear she lives in sensurround
Trembling at words and infrasound
Watch me dissolve
They're all involved
Watching me fade as they dissuade her
If she doesn't devastate me
I'll keep on calling
If she doesn't say she hates me
I'll keep on falling in love
If she doesn't devastate me
I thought that i might be the silent type that she could adore
I saw her splice him in as i slid onto the cutting room floor
Say goodbye to rotoscope
Goodbye
They laugh, they cry and dab their eyes
They're feeling good
I'm not surprised
As she awaits her release date
I'm giving away the final frame
If she doesn't devastate me
I'll keep on calling
If she doesn't say she hates me
I'll keep on falling in love
If she doesn't devastate me
I thought that i might be the silent type that she could adore
I saw her splice him in as i slid onto the cutting room floor
Say goodbye to rotoscope
Goodbye

Baby Must've Known
04:41

Baby, you must have known that when i kissed your friend,
There was revenge in that spit take
It hurts to know you inside and out
And when you're around you make really bad decisions OK
Let me do the favor back
For I can't relax
Don't tell me "We're gonna get married someday"
From your apartment chair with your hair in your face
Stop Being cruel
Stop being you
And trust me
Trust me
Trusting me would be like trusting yourself
I will not let you down
Don't tell me secrets by the Coke machine
Then say " Walk with me"
Don't tell me what your roommate did
Or what a slut that she is
Don't tell me we're gonna get married someday
Can't pretend that i like you when you act that way
Got my fist, I assure, I'm gonna tear up the place
Trust me
Baby, you must've known

Set the table
Well, my man is home and i don't wanna be there
Oh no no
I'm going up to (unintelligible)
Get me a drink of champagne
Ooh hi de boo de fie ke kawn
And when he's having me
I'm gonna piss on his knee
I got em loaded
Loaded
Loaded
Loaded every night
( I actually like that song)
(It's a hit boys)

Kick The Girls
03:24

I'm on the go
I cannot stay
I want it right now
I want it right now
When will it take?
This episode
No more the blame game
This case is closed
I've been thinking bout human beings
Mystery people and impossible leanings
How the werewolves come
The werewolves go
To get the girl
You kick the girl
You get the girl
You kick the girls
The lion tamed
He's on the phone
They cut his heart out
He let his guard down
So never mind what you've been told
About a soft side
And how you need it
Once in a while
Once a week at most
For anniversaries
Or when a pet dies
I've been thinking bout human beings
Mystery people and impossible leanings
How the werewolves come
Yeah this i know
To get the girl
You kick the girl
You get the girl
You kick the girl
I'll wash ya
I want ya
(kiss my ears)
You're so secure you're the dangerous type
(kiss my eyes)
I let her talk let her flirt if she likes
(don't wanna stay here)
Got some news for the world
(don't wanna stay here)
I found myself I was just a big girl
(kiss my ears)
You're such a jerk to her the dangerous type
((kiss my eyes)
I let her talk to boys and flirt if she likes
Common sense makes the news of the world
I found myself i was just a big girl
(kiss my ears)
(Kiss my eyes)
(don't wanna stay here)

The Real Heroes Austin, Texas
The Real Heroes are a rock and pop band from Austin, TX.
The hopeful aim/lofty goal of the
group is to make music that lingers comfortably outside of any specific time period, and to work within different parameters for each new project. We make music for children, teens, curmudgeons, dandys, low-lifes, tennis club enthusiasts, and naughty grandmas.
The Real Heroes continue to exist.
