Story Behind The Song
Written in tumultuous times of the Covid-19 pandemic, with huge ignorance about racism in America, and corporate greed, income inequality and political-ideological polarization at its peak perhaps? Seems like we need some fictional hero to swoop in and kick some ass. Please.

Lyrics
Can we say we'll be all right tomorrow?
When I see so little hope today?
But I know some kind of Hero
Who's as swift as an arrow
He can lift all our weight away
But I haven't seen him since the Seventies
After Laverne & Shirley
He'd clean up this mess we're in
Ya - he'd see it with that eye of his
Six Billion Dollar Man, where are you?
Six Billion Dollar Man, we need you
Jaime's callin' you now...
Didn't mean for any of this to happen
It's a pandemic of greed and hate
And now someone comes along
He reminds us to be strong
And chases our cruelties away
Have you seen him since the Seventies
After Three's Company
A hand of steel, a heart of gold
More expensive now, what do you know!
Six Billion Dollar Man, where are you?
Six Billion Dollar Man, we need you
Jaime's callin' you now...
You saved millions with your hands
You're the Six Billion Dollar Man
Come rescue us - understand, we need you
Whoa where are you?
She's not hearin' you...
