john ang - righteous no more lyrics
[verse 1]
a week ago there was a tale the people told
about a boy who always had a heart of gold
a week ago there was a song the people sang
the underdog became the top of the food chain
a week ago there was a hero named john ang
[bridge]
he threw away his awkward ways
blossomed like the may
learned to save the day
honored his sensei
[chorus]
but now his ego has drowned his soul
his conscious has lost control
he fears he must pay the toll
and say goodbye to the girl he adores
his love was defeated by pride
his heart’s no longer his guide
the hero has died inside
now john ang is righteous no more
[verse 2]
he searched for love, but always came up short
each ship he sailed would always sink in port
he bared his soul, but no one seemed to care
he thought his heart was broke beyond repair
then suddenly a girl answered his prayer
[bridge]
she chased away his cold dismay
brightened up his day
sang with him broadway
called his meals gourmet
[chorus]
but now his ego has drowned his soul
his conscious has lost control
he fears he must pay the toll
and say goodbye to the girl he adores
his love was defeated by pride
his heart’s no longer his guide
the hero has died inside
now john ang is righteous no more
(instrumental)
[chorus]
now my ego ego has drowned my soul
my conscious has lost control
now i fear i must pay the toll
and say goodbye to the girl i adore
my love was defeated by pride
my heart’s no longer my guide
the hero has died inside
now i am righteous no more
