Songtexte Heroes - Lindisfarne

To me every one of them was a hero
Standing in the cold, cold morning light
Every single one of them was a hero
Standing up for their rights
And don't let nobody tell you no different
No newspaper phony or friend
'Cause when the book has finally been written
You know the heroes always beat the villains in the end

With head held high and proud
Stand up and sing it loud
No tin-pot tyrant, no self-made giant
Nothing's gonna stop us now

And the traitors whose heads were turned
And whose loyalties were misplaced
Don't have to say one single word
'Cause it's written all over their face
And the leader will come in last
And the last will win the race
And the order will all be changing
When the heroes finally take their rightful place

With head held high and proud
Stand up and sing it loud
No tin-pot tyrant, no crackpot giant
Nothing's gonna stop us now

One sword don't make a summer
One battle don't win no war
One roll by the drummer
Will soon settle the score
And the heroes will come out fighting
Like they've always done
Shoulder to shoulder together
Line by line till the final victory is won

With head held high and proud
Stand up and sing it loud
No tin-pot tyrant, no self-made giant
Nothing's gonna stop us
Head held high and proud
Stand up and sing it loud
No tin-pot tyrant, no crackpot giant
Nothing's gonna stop us now
