Lyrics Hero - Thick As Thieves

Hero

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
