Hero Lyrics - The Nixons

I caught a glimpse, a silhouette, across the way 

No circumstance or unseen glance, could make them stay 

The big black cars with cherry stars 

They congregate contemplate most complain of common pain 

But they don't really know 

So I start to say that it's okay 

If we can just survive the selfishness that we all hide 

A Crime, insane well who's to blame 

Another hero fades away 

I hear a knock upon the door 

From never never land 

He told the tale of love and pain, and unseen contraband 

Smoke filled room with peasants believe in Santa Claus 

From history to present the world goes round and round 

So I start to say that it's okay 

If we can just survive the selfishness that we all hide 

A Crime, insane well who's to blame 

Another hero fades away 

We see the world with different eyes, in different ways 

From boys to men we learn to hate, never learn to pray 

The tired huddled masses they need a Santa Claus 

You can try and close your eyes and hide 

But they won't go away 

So I start to say that it's okay 

If we can just survive the selfishness that we all hide 

Crime, insane well who's to blame 

Another hero fades away 

Fade away
