Everybody Needs a Hero

We´ve all dreamed together of being kids forever

hanging on to all the people that we love like:

Monroe and JFK, hoping they'll come back someday,

Elvis, John and Jimmy, too, what´s the world gonna do?

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,

like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa !

Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive,

to keep yourself alive.

We made believe that we could be on TV,

a secret fantasy that we were Mr James Dean,

Then Alan Freed called it Rock n´Roll and started it all,

The Beatles, Who, Kiss and Crue,

what´s the world gonna do?

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,

like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa !

Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive

to keep yourself alive.

We´re all living in, a world of AIDS and sin,

we´re taken one by one in vain from what we all have done,

Turn on the TV set, Theres 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,

like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa !

Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive

to keep yourself alive.
