Everybody Needs a Hero

We've all dreamed of gettin' high, but bein' kids forever
Hangin' on to all the people that we love like
Nero and JFK, hopin' they'll come back someday
Elvis, Charlie, Jimmy too, what's the world gonna do?
Everybody needs a hero to look up to
The kings and queens and stars up on the silver screen
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive
We may believe that we could be on TV
A secret fantasy that we will be Sir James Dean
The '93 called it rock n' roll, it started it all
The Beatles, oh, Kiss, and you, what's the world gonna do?
Everybody needs a hero to look up to
The kings and queens and stars up on the silver screen
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive
We're all livin' in a world of hate and sin
We're taken one by one in pain from what we all have done
Turn on the TV set, there's murder, rape, I do regret
Don't despair, we care, trust in me, I'll set you free
Everybody needs a hero to look up to
The kings and queens and stars up on the silver screen
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive
Everybody needs a hero to look up to
The kings and queens and stars up on the silver screen
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive
