I know why no one wants to be the hero, A hero's story doesn't end well. He doesn't get to see a golden gate, He leads you there then walks away. Heroes can inspire all but themselves Placed on shelves waiting to fall And that downfall is the story they'll tell. Watch and see for yourself.
I wish more people wanted to be heroes, Tie their capes in broad day and save Because look, I mean really look, The villains aren't stopping, You hear the newscasters jaws dropping Every night that another kid won't be alright. So we wave white flags as victims, And I don't know about you But I'm ready to fight For something so much bigger than me. Come and be one for yourself
I know why no one wants to be the hero, They let the bad guys have all the fun. The vigilantes can't work a system With zero liability who's to blame I don't believe I can stop it one on one But extend a hand to you all the same. Why can't we all be heroes, And stop all the distress, you and I. No one wants to be a hero Because evil will never die.
