Lyrics

My Hero

[Verse 1]

Too alarming now to talk about

Take your pictures down and shake it out

Truth or consequence, say it aloud

Use that evidence, race it around

[Chorus]

There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary

[Verse 2]

Don't the best of them bleed it out

While the rest of them peter out

Truth or consequence, say it aloud

Use that evidence, race it around

[Chorus]

There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary

[Bridge]

Kudos

My hero

Leaving all the mess

You know my hero

The one that's on

[Chorus]

There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary

There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary
