Verve Pipe - Hero lyrics

i doubt that anybody got their money's worth

but the attention sure felt great

with all eyes upon me, some filled with tears, the most couldn't see

(chorus)

it burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me

creep from the cradle, but a hero's what i wanna be

keep it moving people cause there's nothing more for you to see

i'm just a jerk, but a hero's what i wanna be yeah, oh yeah

love me, love me sweet cowardice

now that the thrill is mine for the moment

we really didn't need another suicide

or a song explaining why, but it's not dignified

but i can't seem to kiss it goodbye

it burned like a cancer...

erase this disaster even faster than you came to see

a creep from the cradle and a hero driven wanna be

for your abuse, but not intended for internal use

i'm just a jerk , but a hero's what i wanna be
