For the shorter Silver Lining take play: Verse 1 Chorus Verse 3 Chorus Bridge Verse 2 End Chorus Verse 1 Jesus was a hippie Peace and love was all he was about That’s why they killed him ’Cause that shit’s something people can’t figure out Now some folks who worship him are the ones Who would have cheered at the crucifixion They got no conviction It doesn’t matter if the man was fact or fiction Verse 2 Nixon was a liar It’s the one thing believed to be true But Tricky Dick was not a crook Whatever that means whatever presidents do Money can’t buy you children And nothing can bring them back to you We all make mistakes We all need someone to look up to Chorus But who’re you gonna call your fearless leader? Who’s gonna put your fears to bed? ’Cause heroes will never let you down Just as long as they’re dead Verse 3 Satan is a feeling deviance it lurks in everyone Guilty pleasures mischievous behavior can be fun No one made you do it nobody but yourself to blame It’s always at your door and trouble is its name Chorus But who’re you gonna call your fearless leader? Who’s gonna put your fears to bed? Heroes will never let you down Just as long as they’re dead Bridge Sometimes you gotta pick and choose Sometimes no matter what you lose Verse 4 Divine was a woman His private parts said she was a man Those were his private parts The parts that he could never understand But she was an actress She could be anything that she wanted Her reality was the very Thing that she flaunted Chorus But who’re you gonna call your fearless leader? Who’s gonna put your fears to bed? Heroes will never let you down Just as long as they’re dead But who’re you gonna call your fearless leader? When you run from fear you leave yourself behind You can’t dump your fears on someone else ’Cause it’s all in your mind

La chanson évoque le contraste entre les figures de leaders spirituels et politiques, en questionnant la véritable nature de l’héroïsme et des convictions. Elle souligne l'hypocrisie de ceux qui se réclament de valeurs de paix, comme Jésus, tout en se comportant de manière contraire. L'artiste aborde des sujets tels que la tromperie des hommes politiques, la culpabilité personnelle, et ce besoin de trouver un modèle à suivre, tout en rappelant que souvent, ces "héros" ne nous déçoivent que lorsqu'ils sont déjà absents. Dans un monde où l'on cherche désespérément des leaders, les paroles interrogent: qui peut réellement nous guider sans nous abandonner à nos propres peurs? La chanson met aussi en lumière que la lutte contre les craintes et les doutes est une quête personnelle que chacun doit mener, plutôt que de rejeter ces responsabilités sur autrui.
