• • • • Let me go

I don't wanna

be your hero

I don't wanna

be a big man

I just wanna fight

with everyone else

Your masquerade

I don't wanna be

a part of your parade

Everyone deserves

a chance to

walk with

everyone else

While holding down

a job to keep my

girl around

And maybe buy me

some new strings

And her a night out

on the weekend

And we can

whisper things

Secrets from our

American dreams

Baby needs

some protection

But I'm a kid

like everyone else

So let me go

I don't wanna

be your hero

I don't wanna

be a big man

I just wanna fight

like everyone else
