Everybody Needs a Hero Songtext
von Pretty Boy Floyd

We′ve all dreamed together of being kids forever
Hanging on to all the people that we love like:
Monroe and JFK, hoping they'll come back someday,
Elvis, John and Jimmy, too, what′s the world gonna do?

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa!
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive,
To keep yourself alive.

We made believe that we could be on TV,
A secret fantasy that we were Mr James Dean,
Then Alan Freed called it Rock n'Roll and started it all,
The Beatles, Who, Kiss and Crue,
What's the world gonna do?


Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa!
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive.

Refrain

We′re all living in, a world of AIDS and sin,
We′re taken one by one in vain from what we all have done,
Turn on the TV set, there's murder, rape, I do regret.
Don′t despair, we care
Trust in me I'll set you free.

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa!
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive.
