Things get a bit heated when James reveals how much he hates this week's song. Strong feelings ahead.

 

PARAMEDIC ZERO LYRICS

VERSE 1

My son makes me proud every day

Can’t walk the streets without hearing his name.

See he’s a sportsman, I say sportsman, I mean hero

Not like your son who’s just a paramedic zero

 

Everybody knows what it is my son does

And why shouldn’t they? It’s something you can’t forget

Your son may resuscitate but what my boy does is just great

He puts a leather ball into a net

 

CHORUS

Why are we wasting our money on heroes

When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?

We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it

Who really deserves the fame?

Who really deserves the fame?

 

VERSE 2

I wish my son could play as well your son can

He’s got no power in his feet, his skill is in his hands.

While your son was winning the game last night

My boy was trying to save some poor woman’s life.

 

(She went into) cardiac arrest

He did his very best

But this was just one he couldn’t save.

Her husband was distraught

He said ‘I really thought

She was gonna make it. And on top of that,

I’ve missed the big game’

 

CHORUS

(Tell me) Why are we wasting our money on heroes

When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?

We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it

Who really deserves the fame?

Who really deserves the fame?

 

BRIDGE

My son’s a major disappointment to me

When I look at your son and see what he could be

Using all the muscles except the important one

Making a mint on a game that little children play for fun

My son spent ten years of his life at medical school

Your son was in the right place at the right time now who looks the fool?

My son has seen awful things and risks his life for a waiter’s pay

Your son kicks a plastic ball round his mansion all of the day

 

CHORUS

(So just tell me) Why are we wasting our money on heroes

When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?

We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it

Who really deserves the fame?

Who really deserves the fame?
