Built it up knock it down Wear you love like a crown Keep the faith in my head, in my heart, in my bed Promise me, faithfully, find out what it means to be Here today, gone tomorrow, too much pain, too much sorrow Cry it out, let it bleed Wait until the waves recede Rip apart what's in my hand, dewll upon what's not been said Rue the loss of innocence no release no recompense How long will this whole thing take? Will it bend or will it break? Nobody's hero Nobody's hero Nobody's hero I'm nobody's champion Chant your name, sing its song Burn a fire all night long Make a protest cut that rug Anaesthetised like a drug Count the cost of a new start, poisoned well, broken heart? Will I stand or will I shake? Is it real or is it fake? Nobody's hero Nobody's hero Nobody's hero I'm nobody's champion No one's Idol, no one's Saint i'm no one's Lion Heart With every kind of mess I make How can I be you guiding star? Nobody's hero Nobody's hero Nobody's hero I'm nobody's champion
