The World Needs a Hero lyrics

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 'em I'll call them back

Just tell 'em anything

Yeah, get 'em 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 one."

They wanna talk to me?

Tell 'em that I'm not in

Tell 'em 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 'em I'll call 'em back

Yeah, tell 'em anything

Just get 'em off my back

The world needs a hero

The world needs a hero

"Dave, the White House is calling."

They wanna talk to me?

Tell 'em that I can't be bought

Tell 'em 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
