Lyrics: 
 
He hit the ground running 
At the speed of light			(Verse 1) 
The star was brightly shining 
Like a neon light 
 
It's your favorite son			(Chorus) 
It's your favorite son 
 
A fixture on the talkshows 
To the silver screen			(Verse 2) 
From here to Colorado 
He's a sex machine 
 
(Chorus) 
 
But isn't it a drag? 
Isn't it a drag?			(Bridge) 
Isn't it a drag? 
It's pretty bloody sad 
But isn't it a drag? 
 
A clean-cut all-American 
Really ain't so clean			(Verse 3) 
His royal auditorium 
Is a murder scene 
 
(Chorus) 
(Bridge) 
 
Well, no one says it's fair		 
Turn a teenage lush			(Interlude) 
To a millionaire 
 
Now where's your fuckin' champion? 
On a bed you laid			(Verse 4) 
He's not the all-American 
That you thought you paid 
 
It's your favorite son 
It's your favorite son 
But isn't it a drag?
