Hero - Thick As Thieves

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

That’s me with a cape

Everybody telling me they don’t wanna play games

So I lost that dream and I lost my faith

And I lost my tears and lost my way

I was waiting for a man with no face

I was waiting for someone to come and save me 'cause I hated me

Maybe I can be somebody other than me

Fuck that the decisions don’t

Now I’ll take a second to breathe

'Cause I’ll be the hero now here

And you’re gonna hear everyone of us scream

«We ain’t gonna leave, we ain’t gonna leave,»

These are the voices of children they mean it

They feel left behind in the class

While they’re waiting for Superman these kids are just like me

I look now with the fathers at the bottom of the bottle

He can be my hero tomorrow

That’s wishful thinking, now I know how to manage my anger

When the cops come banging

«Is everything OK?

The neighbor heard glass break and you were yelling, throwing vain things,»

And I tell him

«Yeah, you weren’t gonna change anything anyway, turn around and walk away!»

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

But I won’t

I won’t

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

Give up everything you wanted

For the life you never wanted

That sounds familiar don’t it

See mothers working two jobs

And these soldiers would come home

Nothing left

Post-dramatic stress

Nothing less than the heroes we talk about

What we lay to bed, when we were little kids can I be like them?

20 years later

30 years old

I wish I was somebody’s hero

Just not my own, if I would’ve known, I would’ve been so much more than

The result of my failures

Come to think

Come to doubt and think I succeeded at anything

I’m a fucking veteran,

I’ve been knocked down so many times shit don’t hurt

Then I see my wife, my mother, my father, my brothers would not only come

Maybe I’m the one that they look up to a point

You understand a mother’s gonna come through

And there’s a million of us just like me

Who got a bed but no place to sleep

And we can watch these streets

Every heartbeat today for me, I don’t need your sympathy

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

But I won’t

I won’t

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

But I won’t

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

But I won’t

I won’t

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

But I won’t

I won’t

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

But I won’t

Everybody’s waiting on a hero

But I won’t

I won’t

Everybody’s waiting on a hero
