"Heroes"


You, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers and that is that

Though nothing will keep us together
We can beat them forever and ever
Yeah we can be heroes just for one day
What you say, I say

And I, well I wish I could swim
Like dolphin, like a dolphin can swim
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them forever and ever
We could be heroes just for one day
What you say, I say

And I, I would be king
And you, you would be my queen
Though nothing could keep us together
We can beat them forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, the guns shot above our heads
(over our heads)
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
(nothing could fall)
And the shame, it fell out on the other side
We can beat them forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day
What you say, I say

We can be heroes I say
We can be heroes, yeah, I say
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes

For we're nothing and no one will help us
Maybe we're lying--then you better not stay
We can be heroes just for one day

Oh, oh-oh-oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh-ohh,
Just for one day
(Oh-oh-oh-ohh)
We can be heroes
(Oh-oh-oh-ohh)
Just for one day
