Everybody Needs A Hero lyrics

We´ve all dreamed together of being kids forever
Hanging on to all the people that we love like:
Monroe and JFK, hoping they'll come back someday,
Elvis, John and Jimmy, too, what´s the world gonna do?

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa!
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive,
To keep yourself alive.

We made believe that we could be on TV,
A secret fantasy that we were Mr James Dean,
Then Alan Freed called it Rock n´Roll and started it all,
The Beatles, Who, Kiss and Crue,
What´s the world gonna do?

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa!
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive.

Refrain

We´re all living in, a world of AIDS and sin,
We´re taken one by one in vain from what we all have done,
Turn on the TV set, there's murder, rape, I do regret.
Don´t despair, we care
Trust in me I´ll set you free.

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa!
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive.
