I really want to know
What you had in store
I couldn't really tell
Maybe just as well
I came here with a dream
And I just had to see
If my dream would soar
I knocked on every door

His whole life was written
Written there inside
The new weekly Bible
His modern T.V. Guide
Every night he stares back at the screen, yeah

A man only sees want he wants to see
When he's in his mind
Where he is what he wants to be
Living in a world where it's safe from reality
Won't you take a chance on this night-
And follow me
Won't you follow me, yeah
Won't you follow me- me- yeah

Don't need no super heroes,
Don't need no movie stars,
Don't need no politicians-
In big black shiny cars
Don't need no preacher
Whose church is my T.V. (No)

A man only sees what he wants to see
When he's in his mind
Where he is what he wants to be
Living in a world where it's safe from reality
Won't you take a chance on this night-
And follow me
Won't you follow me, yeah
Won't you follow me- me- me

*Instrumental Break*

Once was a broken hero
The kind that we all know
The kind that hides inside us
For we never show
The kind we say that could never be me-
(Yeah yeah yeah)

His whole life was written,
Written there inside
The new weekly Bible
His modern T.V. Guide
Stare back at the screen, yeah.

A man only sees want he wants to see.
