The World Needs a Hero

An iron fist quietly sits

Inside the velvet glove

Take control, untouchable

Just like God above

I can't escape wrapped in red tape

What will become of me?

If I object then I defect

My country 'tis of thee

The White House is calling

Tell them I'll call them back

Just tell them anything

Yeah, get them off my back

The world needs a hero

Not that I would ever lie

But I have no choice

Words I say heard today

Are not mine just my voice

NATO is on line 1

They want to talk to me

Tell them that I'm not in

Tell them that I'm not free

The world needs a hero

The world needs a hero

Phantom rule, the hidden jewel

Who's really in control?

On puppet strings, a nation swings

Undermined by moles

The UN is on hold

Tell them I'll call them back

Yeah, tell them anything

Just get them off my back

The world needs a hero

The world needs a hero

Dave the White House is calling

They want to talk to me

Tell them that I can't be bought

Tell them that I'm not free

The world needs a hero

The world needs a hero

The world needs a hero

The world needs a hero

The world needs a hero
