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
