Rockin' to the poor boy he'll be my king
Really got to shiver when he sings
He is the image of my fantasising
Now we got the whole world listening
He will be the biggest thing in history
Cause he's doing the same thing
But so differently
Got to hear the poor boy hero sing

Now we got a genius the people cried
When he move a finger we sighed
And then we squeezed him till he broke inside
When he went to Vegas the music died
He is still the biggest thing in history
Now he's doing the same thing so indifferently
Got to hear the poor boy hero sing

Living in a fantasy
Love that poor boy tenderly
Now he's gone so tragically
Give that poor boy back to me
Hero of the century
Love that poor boy tenderly

Now we take it easy on the soul
If it isn't magic it leaves me cold
It's only magic if it's fresh and bold
It's nothing if it's easy on the soul
You can be the biggest thing in history
If you're going to do it, do it differently
You could be a poor boy hero too
