Letra de Nobody's Hero

I knew he was different in his sexuality I went to his parties as a straight minority It never seemed a threat to my masculinity He only introduced me to a wider reality As the years went by, we drifted apart When I heard that he was gone I felt a shadow cross my heart But he's nobody's hero Saves a drowning child Cures a wasting disease Hero, lands the crippled airplane Solves great mysteries Hero, not the handsome actor Who plays a hero's role? Hero, not the glamour girl Who'd love to sell her soul? If anybody's buying Nobody's hero I didn't know the girl, but I knew her family All their lives were shattered In a nightmare of brutality They try to carry on, try to bear the agony Try tô hold some faith In the goodness of humanity As the years went by, we drifted apart When I heard that she was gone I felt a shadow cross my heart But she's nobody's hero Is the voice of reason Against the howling mob Hero, is the pride of purpose In the unrewarding job (the unrewarding job) Hero, not the champion player Who plays the perfect game? Hero, not the glamour boy Who loves to sell his name? Everybody's buying Nobody's hero As the years went by, we drifted apart When I heard that you were gone I felt a shadow cross my heart But he's nobody's hero Saves a drowning child Cures a wasting disease Hero, lands the crippled airplane Solves great mysteries Hero, not the handsome actor Who plays a hero's role? Hero, not the glamour girl Who'd love to sell her soul? If anybody's buying Nobody's hero Nobody's hero Hero Nobody's hero Hero Nobody's hero
