I'm a hero
In flesh and bones for surviving life's endeavors on my own
I'm a hero
I've got a soul!
Life is mine to live without your preaching grunts

You're not a hero
Far from being so
You are just a lie with a soul, flesh and bones
You're not a hero
A ghost in this pantomime
You were made to fail and crawl, crawl like a worm!

Give me your endless love
Keep me away from harm, quite safe and warm
I never asked to be born here, I've never knew why
That's your duty onto me 'til the end of time

You pretend that only other people
Carry burdens and you never will

Listen
Give me. Feed me. Keep me
Is it all you can say?

Give me your utter love
Those begging hands you can't ignore!
I never asked to be born here, I've never knew why
That's your duty onto me 'til the end of time

You pretend that only other people
Carry burdens and you never will

Listen
Give me. Feed me. Keep me
Is it all you can say?

(Pretender, pretender, pretender!)

I'm a hero!
No, you're not at all! A ghost in this pantomime!

I'm a hero!
Liar, liar! No, nothing but a shade
Is it all you can
Say?
