Fleesh - Nobody's Hero

I knew he was different, in his sexualityI went to his parties, as a straight minorityIt never seemed a threat to my masculinityHe only introduced me to a wider reality
As the years went by, we drifted apartWhen I heard that he was goneI felt a shadow cross my heartBut he's nobody's
Hero, saves a drowning childCures a wasting diseaseHero, lands the crippled airplaneSolves great mysteries
Hero, not the handsome actorWho plays a hero's role?Hero, not the glamour girlWho'd love to sell her soul?If anybody's buyingNobody's hero
I didn't know the girl, but I knew her familyAll their lives were shatteredIn a nightmare of brutalityThey try to carry on, try to bear the agonyTry to hold some faithIn the goodness of humanity
As the years went by, we drifted apartWhen I heard that she was goneI felt a shadow cross my heartBut she's nobody's
Hero, is the voice of reasonAgainst the howling mobHero, is the pride of purposeIn the unrewarding job (the unrewarding job)
Hero, not the champion playerWho plays the perfect game?Hero, not the glamour boyWho loves to sell his name?Everybody's buyingNobody's hero
As the years went by, we drifted apartWhen I heard that you were goneI felt a shadow cross my heart
But he's nobody's
Hero, saves a drowning childCures a wasting diseaseHero, lands the crippled airplaneSolves great mysteries
Hero, not the handsome actorWho plays a hero's role?Hero, not the glamour girlWho'd love to sell her soul?If anybody's buyingNobody's hero
Nobody's heroHeroNobody's heroHeroNobody's hero
