Paul Revere was the nexus

Paul Revere was the nexus.
Deep down in the solar plexus.
I am baffled by his success.
Because Paul Revere was a phony.

So many people shouted:The British are coming.
But he was the one who got credit.
Did you know that?
Paul Revere was an opportunist.

The midnight ride was made my hundreds.
But that guy just bragged about it more.
And he had friends by the score.
At the end of the day reputation means more.

Paul Revere was an average guy.
But his place in history cannot be denied.
He was the brave soldier against tyranny.
Forever and forever we need to believe.

There is a deep place with no name.
Where there are phonies.
And there are those with grace.
And somewhere we all forgot our place.
