It may not feel too classy Begging just to eat But you know who does that? Lassie. And she always gets a treat So you wonder what your part is ‘cause you’re homeless and depressed But home is where the heart is So your real home’s in your chest
Everyone’s a hero in their own way Everyone’s got villains they must face They’re not as cool as mine But folks, you know it’s fine to know your place Everyone’s a hero in their own way In their own not-that-heroic way
So I thank my girlfriend, Penny (yeah, we totally had sex) She showed me there’s so many Different muscles I can flex There’s the deltoids of compassion There’s the abs of being kind It’s not enough to bash in heads you’ve got to bash in minds
Everyone’s a hero in their own way Everyone’s got something they can do Get up, go out and fly Especially that guy – he smells like poo Everyone’s a hero in their own way You and you and mostly me and you
I’m poverty’s new sheriff And I’m bashing in the slums A hero doesn’t care If you’re a bunch of scary alcoholic bums
Everyone’s a hero in their own way Everyone can blaze a hero’s trail Don’t worry if it’s hard If you’re not a friggin' 'tard you will prevail Everyone’s a hero in their own way Everyone’s a hero in their way
Groupies: (over hammer) We’re heroes too We’re just like you We’re heroes too
