the hero



the hero walks out on the road, draggin his past behind him

he knows what he’s been told, that no one will ever find him

where he’s goin, nobody ever been there

where he’s from, life just wasn’t fair



hero, hero, whatcha gonna do?

somebody's got to stand up for truth

where are you when we need you?



a damsel waitin high up in a tower, for anyone to save her

they fall down by the hour, there’s always someone braver

a villain sets fire to the moat, n twists his greasy moustache

the hero’s got a boat, n a suitcase fulla cash



hero, hero, whatcha gonna do?

nobody leaves it up to you

no one knows and no one shows you



the director yells cut n whispers print, n all the minions scurry

i’ll give you a little hint, my agent’s pretty worried

the stars kick back n light a smoke, n stare into the distance

n share a private joke, about their audience



hero, hero, whatcha gonna do?

do you even know what’s true?

who the hell even are you?
