Action Movie Hero Boy is the second track on Dinosaurchestra. It is a cautionary tale about a child imitating action movie clichés.

Lyrics

I gotta figure out where mommy keeps the dynamite

I’ll get some measuring tape so I can time it right

I know it’s dangerous

I know you’re thinking I am a fool

But it’s the only chance I’ll ever get to look so cool

(Look so cool)

Hey, look at me, casually

Walking away like Action Movie Hero Boy

In slow-mo, everything glowing and

Blowing to bits right behind me

You see it all the time in theatres on the silver screen

Like when the good guy blows the bad guy’s house to smithereens

I’ve got a movie-making camera and a dozen grenades

I’m looking tough, I’ve got the stuff I’ve got the spiffy shades

(Spiffy shades)

Hey look at me casually

Walking away like Action Movie Hero Boy

In slow mo, everything glowing and

Blowing to bits right behind me

I am aware it’s just a movie

I’m aware it’s a cliché

I am aware I’m being stupid

I’m aware of that

but hey

This is just something that I gotta do.

Yeah

(Yeah)

Hey, look at me, casually

Stumbling down like action movie blooper reel

In slow-mo, everything glowing and

Blowing to bits including me
