Hero

You feel it is time, that you make a difference.
Don't lie sister of suffrage.
I have given anything you've asked for.
Full steam ahead, oh don't you worry.
My hands have never been so steady.
Don't flinch and the pain will soon be over.

And when the lights come on and you're not around.
They'll soon come runnin.
We've made it alive, while the music plays tonight, oh yeah.
If this is a test then our will is good, again and again.
We levy the flood while the back beats in our blood.
And won't you feel like a big hero.
When we're finally left out here alone.

So many ways, to die choose one.
Don't cry you fortunate son.
I will feed the fire till your eardrums blister.
I've got an imagination, if you wanna test me further.
How can you stand there and call me brother.
Treading on patience quiet as a whisper.
And when the lights come on and you're not around.
They'll soon come runnin.

Here alone. Here alone. Here alone.

You can run if you want to honey
Stand your ground if you're wantin' to.
But I ain't runnin' no more. I gotta keep hanging on.
And I'm playin' for keeps, yeah.
