Lyrics:

Never meet your hero's, they'll always let you down
They're just as shallow as you or me
Or worse than that, they're clowns
You reveal the cracks in your make-up, the closer you are
I once met a hero, someone who stood alone
But his venal heart was not into his art
And was made of not rock but stone

You reveal the cracks in your make-up the closer you are
You reveal the cracks in your make-up the closer you are

I remember you, in the early days
I remember you, before you changed your ways
I remember you, when you were one of the faces
I remember you, before your heirs and graces
I remember you, when you were one of the boys
I remember you, when you made that heavenly noise
I remember you, when you had a goal
Before you sold your soul

Never meet your hero's, it's never any fun
You'd like them to spread all their knowledge
Instead you just take the money and run
You reveal the cracks in your make-up the closer you are
You reveal the cracks in your make-up the closer you are
