Kill the Hero (Paul Wright/John Cooper/Bob Farrell)
KAI: I submit here this common criminal His dark evil is so subliminal His foul teachings are so subversionist His rogue nation is pro-rebellionist Incites people to riot in the streets He makes traitors of everyone He meets The time has come This Man must feel the law
Chorus: Kill the Hero - do what I.C.O.N. wants you to He's an enemy of the state A threat to be subdued Kill the Hero - this imposter full of lies We need I.C.O.N.'s fist to take Him down And see that He must die Oh, this Man must surely die
GOVERNOR PILATE: You revile me, you small and pompus twit Don't waste my time with your religious fits I see no signs He's I.C.O.N.'s enemy Is love now criminal activity? What deed demands that we should make Him bleed This sad preacher who means nothing to me I find no fault I find no fault at all
KAI: (Chorus)
HUNTER (to HERO): Don't just stand there and let them railroad You Don't just stant there - You've got Your life to lose You know Pilate has the power to do You in Can't You speak up? This travesty will end Make it end - they're gonna kill You
KAI & STREET URCHINS: Kill the Hero - do what I.C.O.N wants you to He's an enemy of the state A threat to be subdued Kill the Hero - make Him bleed for what He's done It's an absolute necessity That you don't let Him run
(Chorus)
PILATE: Kai, I have no energy for this... Devlin, take this Jew Hero back to Brooklyn... (whispers) And maybe He doesn't make it all the way there... Let your street people decide His fate.
(aloud) The court of I.C.O.N. is hereby adjourned.
