Letra da Música Hero de Thick As Thieves

Everybody's waiting on a hero
Everybody's waiting on a hero

that's me with the cape
Everybody tellin me they don't wanna play games
So I lost that dream and I lost my faith
and I lost my teens and I 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 could be somebody other than me?
Fuck that put the scissors down
I ain't Joan Rivers now I'll take a second to breath
Cause I'll be the hero now, here and now
you're gonna hear every one of us scream
We ain't gonna leave!
We ain't gonna leave!
These are the voices of children in need
and they've been left behind in the class
while they waited for Superman
These kids are just like me
Alanon while their father is at the bottom of the bottle
He could be my hero tomorrow
that's wishful thinking
I don't know how to manage my anger
when the cops come bangin'
Is everything okay?
The neighbor heard glass break
and you were yellin' profane things
I tell him yea... you ain't gonna change anything anways
Turn around and walk away

Everybody's waiting on a hero
But I won't, I won't
Everybody's waiting on a hero
But I
I won't
I
I won't

Give up everything you wanted
For a life you never wanted
That sounds familiar don't it
Single mothers working two jobs
And the soldiers who come home with nothing left
Post traumatic stress
ain't nothin less than the heroes we'd talk about
while we laid in bed When we were little kids
Could 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 of it, I don't think I've succeeded at anything
I'm a fucking veteran of the dirt
I've been knocked down so many times
Shit don't hurt!
Then I see my wife, my mother, my father, my brothers
When I'm on the come up
And maybe I'm the one that they look up to?
I want you to understand I'm always gonna come through
And there's a million of us just like me
Who got a bed but no place to sleep
And we gon' march these streets
Every heart that bleeds, it ain't 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

Choir

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
