My Songs Suck
Ep 13: 'Paramedic Zero'
Things get a bit heated when James reveals how much he hates this week's song. Strong feelings ahead.
PARAMEDIC ZERO LYRICS
VERSE 1
My son makes me proud every day
Can’t walk the streets without hearing his name.
See he’s a sportsman, I say sportsman, I mean hero
Not like your son who’s just a paramedic zero
Everybody knows what it is my son does
And why shouldn’t they? It’s something you can’t forget
Your son may resuscitate but what my boy does is just great
He puts a leather ball into a net
CHORUS
Why are we wasting our money on heroes
When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?
We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it
Who really deserves the fame?
Who really deserves the fame?
VERSE 2
I wish my son could play as well your son can
He’s got no power in his feet, his skill is in his hands.
While your son was winning the game last night
My boy was trying to save some poor woman’s life.
(She went into) cardiac arrest
He did his very best
But this was just one he couldn’t save.
Her husband was distraught
He said ‘I really thought
She was gonna make it. And on top of that,
I’ve missed the big game’
CHORUS
(Tell me) Why are we wasting our money on heroes
When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?
We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it
Who really deserves the fame?
Who really deserves the fame?
BRIDGE
My son’s a major disappointment to me
When I look at your son and see what he could be
Using all the muscles except the important one
Making a mint on a game that little children play for fun
My son spent ten years of his life at medical school
Your son was in the right place at the right time now who looks the fool?
My son has seen awful things and risks his life for a waiter’s pay
Your son kicks a plastic ball round his mansion all of the day
CHORUS
(So just tell me) Why are we wasting our money on heroes
When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?
We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it
Who really deserves the fame?
Who really deserves the fame?
