David Ellefson - The World Needs A Hero lyrics

[Verse 1] An Iron fist quietly sits inside the Velvet Glove Take control, untouchable just like God above I can't escape, wrapped in red tape, what will become of me? If I object, then I defect my country 'tis of thee The White House is calling Tell them I'll call them back Just tell them anything Yeah get them off my back The world needs a hero [Verse 2] Not that I would ever lie but I have no choice Words I say heard today are not mine, just my voice NATO is on line 1 They want to talk to me Tell them that I'm not in Tell them that I'm not free The world needs a hero [Bridge] Phantom rule, the hidden j**el who's really in control? On puppet strings, a nation swings undermined by moles [Verse 3] The UN is on hold Tell them I'll call them back Yeah tell them anything Just get them off my back The world needs a hero [Solo - Mustaine] [Solo - Pitrelli] [Verse 4] Dave the White House is calling They want to talk to me Tell them that I can't be bought Tell them that I'm not free The world needs a hero [End Solos - Pitrelli]
