Its never been the same since you returned from dreamin
With your nursery rhyme excuses your picture postcards gleamin
Tellin everyone who looks your way bout people and their sinnin
While you left field verse is fallin in proportion to your winnin
And I cant be your hero today
Im through with the simple games you play
It just may take some time for me to even up the score
But I cant be your soldier home from war
And there you sit shouting that theres still hope for us
While nature holds the handcuffs on a capricorn and taurus
Theres nothing you can do or say to get me to your camp
Go fill up all your savings books and buy yourself a lamp
And I cant be your hero today
Your wholesale price is much to high to pay
A bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell love
And I cant be your superman above
No I cant be your hero today
That is all I really want to say
Go find a leading man who wants to play
And I cant be your hero today
