Twins are born, and pundits swear
They’re heroes both… but when, to who?
Heroes do what heroes dare.
Always on, their lives laid bare
Heroes do what heroes do…
Twins are born, and pundits swear.
Mostly good, but they don’t care
What their handlers bring them to.
Heroes do what heroes dare.
In media res, how do they fare?
All their speeches rifled through;
Twins are born, and pundits swear.
Drifting through the rhinestone glare,
How can they encourage you?
Heroes do what heroes dare.
We all want what they can’t share,
What they imagine as their due.
Twins are born, and pundits swear,
While heroes do what heroes dare.
