We´ve all dreamed together of being kids forever
Hanging on to all the people that we love like:
Monroe and jfk, hoping they'll come back someday,

Elvis, john and jimmy, too, what´s the world gonna do?

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,

Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa!
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive,
To keep yourself alive.


We made believe that we could be on tv,
A secret fantasy that we were mr james dean,

Then alan freed called it rock n´roll and started it all,
The beatles, who, kiss and crue,
What´s the world gonna do?


Everybody needs a hero to look up to,
Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa!

Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive.


Refrain

We´re all living in, a world of aids and sin,

We´re taken one by one in vain from what we all have done,
Turn on the tv set, there's murder, rape, i do regret.
Don´t despair, we care

Trust in me i´ll set you free.

Everybody needs a hero to look up to,

Like kings and queens and stars upon the silver screen, whoa!
Everybody needs a hero in this world to survive
To keep yourself alive.
