Lyrics
Am I the wind beneath your wings or the asphalt under your tires?
Would you praise or would you cuss me, would you feed me to the lions?
Cause to my face, I'm cool, I'm great, but I know you're a liar
Am I the wind beneath your wings, or the asphalt under your tires?

Banker Joe or lawyer shmoe they, qualify as friends
You'd make the perfect polititian, they can sin and sin and sin
And am I just your stepping stone, to bigger, better things
Ordinary people, they can't help achieve your dreams

You're my hero, and I'm your fool, ya you're my hero and I'm your fool

These people head up corporations, may be the police chief in your town
They can sit and talk about you hey, in all those bars around
Were it not for the money, and if not for our jobs
Well we'd look you in the eyes and say, I'm getting robbed

Am I the wind beneath your wings or the asphalt under your tires
Will you praise or will you cuss me, would you feed me to the lions
Cause to my face I'm cool I'm great but I know your a liar
Am I the wind beneath your wings or the asphalt under your tires?
