Hero Songtext
von Weezer

When I was a kid, I thought I′d save the world
Running 'round and chasing all the criminals
Swinging on a web, flying in the sky
Shooting lasers from my eyes

But now I know it never was my destiny
It′s not my place in life, not who I'm meant to be
And I don't need the glory, I don′t need the fame
And I don′t wanna wear this cape

'Cause on the inside (on the inside)
I know it won′t last
On the inside (on the inside)
I'm an outcast

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I′m not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be your hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah


They build you up, and then they're gonna tear you down
They love you, then they hate you if you wear a crown
It′s not that I don't love to solve a mystery
But life is hard enough with one identity

If silence is the voice of a new generation
Then I could live up to all of your expectations
I'd hammer down hard, like I′m Iron Fist
Then disappear like I don′t exist

And on the inside (on the inside)
I know it won't last
On the inside (on the inside)
I′m an outcast

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be your hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I′m not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be your hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah


Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be your hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
