I don't wanna be your hero

I don't wanna be a big man

Just wanna fight with everyone else

Your masquerade

I don't wanna be a part of your parade

Everyone deserves a chance to

Walk with everyone else

While holding down

A job to keep my girl around

And maybe buy me some new strings

And her and I out on the weekends

And we can whisper things

Secrets from my America dreams

Baby needs some protection

But I'm a kid like everyone else

So let me go

I don't wanna be your hero

I don't wanna be a big man

Just wanna fight with everyone else

Ooooohh

So let me go

I don't wanna be your hero

I don't wanna be a big man

Just wanna fight with everyone else

Your masquerade

I don't wanna be a part of your parade

Everyone deserves a chance to

Walk with everyone else
