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, Theres 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
