American Hero Lyrics by Hans Gruber and the Die Hards

Hans Gruber and the Die Hards 2

2019

Wandering through the streets, I first saw it on the news
They told us with a straight face, “don't panic now it's just a few”
And I've watched enough movies to know
They're all about to lose control, welcome to the horror show
Then I spotted one with my own eyes
She was blending in with a red hat, but I saw right through the lies
Never shot a gun before, I never took a punch
But I'm sure as hell not gonna sit around and be somebody's lunch
The plague has spread
The time has come to shoot ‘em all in the head
I'm a great American hero
Just like Grandpa did on D-Day
I'm a great American hero
We're anti-zombie USA
Well, it didn't take long to spread throughout the heartland
Those morons had it coming, but it's not too late to take a stand
Take to the streets, comrade answer my call
And now we know for sure that the Russians were behind it all
Why won’t anyone else take this threat seriously?
I know they look normal, but they're not the same as you and me
Fear not, for I am here to save the day
I'm the hero no one asked for, but I'm fighting for you anyway
The plague has spread
The time has come to shoot ‘em all in the head
I'm a great American hero
Just like Grandpa did on D-Day
I'm a great American hero
We're anti-zombie USA
I'm a great American hero
Steve Rogers slug ‘em all in the face
I'm a great American hero
We're anti-zombie USA
Shoot first! Think never!
Shoot first! Think never!
Now, the armies of darkness have conquered the whole town
You gave peace a chance, but in war there is no middle ground
There's blood on your hands and you're the one to blame
You cowered behind your morals when the enemy came
As I stare into the abyss I finally see
Come to think I'm feeling rather hungry
I bite into your neck and rip apart your face
I'll do it all again so I can save the human race
The plague has spread
The time has come to shoot ‘em all in the head
I'm a great American hero
Just like Grandpa did on D-Day
I'm a great American hero
We're anti-zombie USA
I'm a great American hero
Steve Rogers slug ‘em all in the face
I'm a great American hero
We're anti-zombie USA
