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 '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 1"
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 (Ha, yeah)
The world needs a hero (The world needs a hero)
The world needs a hero (Ha, got to, got to, got to find a hero)
The world needs a hero
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 '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 1"
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 (Ha, yeah)
The world needs a hero (The world needs a hero)
The world needs a hero (Ha, got to, got to, got to find a hero)
The world needs a hero
