Action Hero

Sometime after sunset

He is on his hands and knees

He is searching for his keys

At a small Vietnamese place

On East 11th Street

His daughters both at once say

Can we just get going please?

As his wife begins to sneeze

And his son is throwing peas

And eating with his feet

He's an action hero

And he should be fighting crime

Leaping between the buildings

And racing against time

He's an action hero

He's an action hero

In his mind

He drops by Mount Sinai

Where they're running through some tests

And they've taped things to his chest

And they're all doing their best

To make him feel at ease

The doctor says it's really just

An educated guess

I suggest you get some rest

Try to cut back on the stress

Cause I don't like what I see

But the action hero

Swears he feels just fine

He's got to finish saving

The world for all mankind

He's an action hero

He's an action hero

And he's racing against time

He's racing against time

There goes the action hero

He's racing against time
