lyrics
HERO
You’re a chronic corporate parasite
You’re the pills that tuck us in at night
A drop of toxin watch it spread
To pull the teeth from out your head
Try to scream and shout
But you just shake us out - shake us out
Shake, shake, shake, shake- shake us out
Shake, shake, shake, shake- shake us out
Don’t, don’t go get out of line; get lost in a crowd
Don’t, don’t go speakin’ your mind or thinking outloud
Because a hero won’t survive
Be the dream that walks you to the bridge
Just to be a freeway accident
You’re a politician’s prostitute
You’re a torn and tattered parachute
Same you’ve always been-
Can’t wait to break us in– break us in
Break, break, break, break- break us in
Break, break, break, break- break us in
Don’t, don’t go get out of line; get lost in a crowd
Don’t, don’t go speakin’ your mind or thinking outloud
Because a hero won’t survive
We’re the heroes that can’t be scene
We got sunglasses and magazines
But they’ll catch on someday
We’ll wear blindfolds and cigarettes
And firing squads will be dead set
To send us on our way
Don’t, don’t go get out of line; get lost in a crowd
Don’t, don’t go speakin’ your mind or thinking outloud
Because a hero
Because a hero
Because a hero won’t survive
