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 [? 0:32] 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, [? 1:59] 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
