lyrics

So you finally got out
Out of the land of the dead
You spent your days conceiled
In the mud, starving, afraid

You thought it were just a job
Just like anyone else
But you were hit in the face
Got a missile in your back

And now you're a hero
You're the man of the day
It wasn't your fault
It wasn't your feat
All they needed was
A hero

Now they run in your door
And they siege your house
You're on the T.V.
On every channel
And they ask you

What did you live on
Where did you sleep
Why didn't they warn you
How do you feel

And they crash in your door
And they keep your phone screaming
And everywhere in the news
you see yourself grinning
And your family's hiding
in the dark of the cellar
And they won't let you out
they will push even harder
Until you expose your soul

Because they wanted a hero
And you're the one in charge
It wasn't your fault
It wasn't your feat
All they need is
A hero
