Dole Hero

He tried to kill himself ...
So he wrote it down in his mind, he might use it one day
Although his fate was sealed he held his future as a knife
Then he wrote to the girl ... please help me help myself

And out cold she said that you'd be better of dead
Because the dole hero will stick in your head
Out cold she said that you'd be better of dead
Because the dole hero will stick in your head

While he thought to himself ...
There must be another way out or a
different way out to the way I come in
Please, can I touch your smile
through the gap in the back of the glass
Can I take it home for a while and put it
on the mantle piece along with my friends

Out cold she said that you'd be better of dead
Because the dole hero will stick in your head
Out cold she said that you'd be better of dead
Because the dole hero will stick in your head

She said, you'd be better, better of dead
You'd be mighty better of dead
