Larson / Hoffsten)



the eagle had just arrived

on the twentieth of July

Ed wanted to check the view

how mother earth looked from the moon

wave to Panama

smile to the camera

a hero for all mankind

but good old Neil had something else in mind



he's got to be the hero

the favorite son

count up from zero

to number one



Chorus:

Eddie Bummer

never got your name in neonlights

Eddie Bummer

one step would change your whole life

what a blunder

might as well be a hindu

Eddie Bummer

look what your karma did to you



strange how the little things

make a great big difference

a small step for humanity

big one towards insanity

who's last and who comes first

it is all set from one's birth

the winner takes it all, it's true

cause who remembers number two?



he's got to be the hero

the favourite son

count up from zero

to number one



Chorus
